Hey folks!
I’m writing this because funding for the Lemmy project has dropped to critical levels, which could seriously impact its future development.
Thanks to the generous support of our lemm.ee community, our server infrastructure costs are covered, and we even have a few months of runway. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed - lemm.ee wouldn’t exist without your help.
However, infrastructure alone isn’t enough. Our servers run Lemmy software, and without ongoing development, the platform cannot grow or even be maintained.
Lemmy is an open-source project with many contributors, but the vast majority of development work has been carried out by a small group of core maintainers. A few maintainers work full-time on the project, relying solely on donations and occasional grants to support themselves.
I’ve seen Lemmy development up close, and the maintainers have consistently gone above and beyond what I consider the standard for small open-source teams - they are constantly writing code, mentoring contributors, and keeping everything running. Their work is essential, and without continued support, it cannot be sustained.
If you value Lemmy, please consider supporting its maintainers directly. Every bit helps.
Please check out this post for more details about how to support the maintainers: https://lemm.ee/post/63034576
Thank you for reading, I hope you have a great weekend!
You’re more than entitled to believe anything other than the facts.
Facts? What facts? Better be careful with such things, you could be seen as being uncivil.
Also really funny if you read that with some comprehension as “You’re more than entitled to believe anything other than the facts.” implies someone is expected (more then entitled) to believe anything over the facts (so lies). In this context this is chefs kiss amazing.
Not my fault you can’t read anything longer than a reddit post and believe you know everything under heaven.
Maybe it’s time for you to hit the books.
Ah there it is, the implication I was on reddit, the attempt to insult my intelligence, and of course the complete disregard to typing anything that has even a passing resemblance to the current discussion. As is tradition.
Well if you nerds would stop starting shit, as is tradition, you wouldn’t be subjected get proverbially getting hit
When was I hit? Sometimes I wonder if people are just replying using a preset of responces without regard to the subject.
Yet another brain rotted loser defaulting to the lolbertarian logic of “everyone that isn’t me is an NPC”. Brilliant clap back 👏 give yourself a reward pellet for your dynamic thought process.
Really? Is this just something you apply to everyone that disagrees with you online, or am I special?
Are you having part of this discussion in your head? The last 3 replys you posted don’t even seem grounded in reality.
As special as the report you filed, being "name calling. “uncivil” like behavior. ", which to be honest had been you this entire time.
You really should just log off the internet for the rest of the day and go read a book, maybe even go bask in some sunlight. It’ll do you some good for your wellbeing.
