And then someone said, “I bet I could make all the money off this”

So I am in a “Right to Work” State and I have thought about this for a minute now… Given the support is there, how hard is it to start a union in a particular field/industry in a city? I have been in Tech and IT for the last +10 years and I while I havent met too many Union Deniers, no one seems to know why there is no Tech Unions out here. Is there a place I could reach out for guidance?

So while I understand the love for FOSS and an Ad Free Experience, somebody still has to pay for the server time. Now I know this doesnt exactly work in THIS scenario with Sync, but couldnt ads and paid subs in Apps be a good way for Lemmy/KBin instances for be financed without having to rely on donations?

For Example, imagine if Lemmy.ml had their own app with their own experience and if you wanted to support it without actually handing over money, now you could use ads in the mobile experience and feel a little better about your lurking.

Just a thought.

I can’t either! I got bit by the audiobook big a few months ago and jumped into MAM and it’s been fantastic! Half the books are looked behind their VIP section, but it’s super easy to get that status of your seed consistently. I was given literally 1000s of their bonus points from other members just for hanging around their forums for a few post. Bought my VIP status with the bonus points, and now I log in every month or so and convert my points to top of my VIP status and then dump the rest into my Ratio

Millions joined? Or millions of Facebook/Instagram accounts were imported?
