        Gatekeeping only helps keep the big tech oligarchs strong. If we want to lessen big techs influence we will need to be more welcoming here.

        It’s not like Mastodon; there aren’t superior communities. Outside of hexbear or .ml, there’s no meaningful difference between lemmy.social and lemmy.zip you just join one and follow what you want of all the options.

        The part the general public isn’t ready for is curating their own feed.

        There’s no AI shoving things at you so you can doomscroll. They want that.

        There’s also no ads paying for the servers, so we keep is small and enough of us dontate to keep it runnings.

        You get a couple million twitter/reddis assholes over here burning server costs up with not donating shit; the nice, quiet, pleasant community we have goes to shit.

        Don’t borrow trouble.

    I’ll keep repeating this: When people will stop caring about the “convenience” of mainstream social media and move to the fedi, whe can destroy the entire world economy and build something fair where creators can live of their art and content. Everything is ready, thanks to the hard work of thousands of devs, and people wont lose anything from what they enjoy from social media, they just won’t be a product anymore for the techno-fascist tech giants.

    People should give the most money to the Lemmy devs but I think most is actually given to the largest server admins.

    Don’t just say how much you love them. Donate to your instances monthly and make it easier for them to be sustainable.

    Thank you to all the developers and instance administrators! 💓

    (Shame on those who stir up controversy for ideological reasons, seeking the worst in people who dedicate their time to improving the technology that enables the use of an open social web! 👿🤬)
