Hello, sh.itjust.works community!

A few months ago we began accepting donations to help cover the hosting and equipment costs of running this instance. We have been overwhelmed by your generosity and support! It truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for helping to keep this instance running.

We would like to take an opportunity today to encourage everyone to also support Lemmy software development. We would not be here without the years of work that the software devs have put into creating this tool. There are certainly some users here with strong political opinions toward the lead developers. However, at the end of the day, we are all creating and maintaining this community together.

Nutomic recently posted a request for donations. Please take a look and consider sending some support their way:

    And in proper tankie fashion, it has the shape of that intent, but it doesn’t seem to mean a damn thing. It is rhetorical cover.

    The mascot for this service should be a trolley.

      There is this comment too, which contradicts what nutomic is now saying

      In a recent discussion in the Matrix chat, it was mentioned that donations to support development have recently fallen off quite steeply. I mentioned my reason for not donating anymore is because I can’t support anyone who runs an instance like .ml. [email protected] said I could donate directly to him since he doesn’t do as much moderation over there, but also mentioned that donations for development go towards server costs for .ml. Hell no.
