Calling for donations! We're running Lemmy.World for you to use for free, however the running costs aren't for free... If you appreciate our services and are willing and able to help out paying the bills, please consider a donation on one of these platforms:

We have a blog with overview of the running costs, which is severely outdated... I will update this before the next call for donations: https://blog.mastodon.world/

What donation site? All the links posted here just show the mastodon.world logo, which is just a lemmy logo shaped planet on one and a speech bubble shaped planet on the others...

    I didn't use this post. It was a week ago I clicked on the link on the top screen that said "donate to Lemmy.". I don't know exactly who the picture was, but I could recognize it as a left-wing revolutionary. It was that Spanish dude with a beard...Chavez I think. The picture was on Patreon and I think Librapay.

    I'm not necessarily against him or left wing revolutionaries, but it felt like something the mods on News would use. After I thought about, I realized that whoever set up this instance probably controls the popular left wing communities. I would if I set up a website.

    I don't know the history of the person in the picture, but it's commonly used by extremists. If I see that profile picture on Reddit, it means I'm about to read a comment from someone who thinks Bernie Sanders is a far-right capitalist.
