Can’t slip a Saddam past us that easily!

Saddam Hussein

Dev posted few weeks ago about donations being a little short and having lowered making it more difficult to support development. A lot of people then started to donate or increase their financial support.

Edit : for reference https://lemmy.ml/post/29579005

I see Saddam Hussein.

Also, we're doing our part. They're still halfway from their nodest goal though.

Oh yea I started donating all right...to PieFed (I don't even have a PF account), .world and .cafe.

I won't be giving a penny to them until I see some major changes in regards to .ml as so many people called for on every other version of the donation thread that wasn't .ml

They posted asking for people to stand up for them. Dirty communists like myself (okay, and others) stood up and pushed that message everywhere we could. Because you have to want freedom and democracy. It does not come for free.

Honestly, even if it's 2p a month, it'll add up and ensure the longevity of the service at the heart of what we all use daily.

This reminded me that I wanted to support. Just did a yearly payment. Thanks for the amazing work guys! I can't believe a just a few people can maintain such an amazing ecosystem. One day people will understand that, in 48 hours, we could destroy the entire gafam system and replace it with a fair alternative: the Fediverse and FLOSS.

I use Lemmy daily, the least I can do is throw a bit of cash at the Devs!

Interesting. feddit.org also saw a sudden peak in new users registering in the same time period.

Intended to do it long time ago, finally committed!

I have spent way too much time on lemmy this past two years, it is worth the money.
