I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

How does the Lemmy creators actually personally benefit from the fact I run my own Lemmy instance?

I do not donate to them, but how is the technology created be them evil if it fits my concept of decentralized web?

Do they get money because I run my instance o use another one not under their control? O doubt it

I am actually using their tech against themselves, so what?
