Since people keep downvoting me and arguing the existence of something easily verifiable here is a screenshot.
donate to lemmy devs

You haven’t seen it, because you’re using kbin, but every unaltered lemmy instance has a donate link in the top bar on every page of the site. So, yes, they do profit off it.

@73ms I don’t see a problem with removing it from existing sites that can’t reasonably change at this point - I actually convinced Beehaw to do so. However, if someone is looking to spin up an instance at this point, there are alternatives.

The problem is every lemmy instance features links to donate to devs by default. Removing it is kind of a moral dilemma of using someone’s software without contributing, so it’s better to just not use it all.

Considering that any news source outside of China and Russia are banned on that server, not very.

The problem is many Lemmy instances don’t use downvotes (like beehaw), so posts and replies from those sites will unnaturally rise to the top and drown out other users.

Under more -> activity

It’s extra annoying, because lemmy people can downvote, but they can’t (as far as I know) boost.

If big instances like Beehaw go whitelist federation only, it will effectively make single user instances useless.

99% of what made it to /all from there was pretty much “I hate my manager”
