Reddit migrator here (shocking, I know)

Just wondering because I found out about all this yesterday and just realized the ammount of independent servers, but no sign of any ads or sponsors. So… is it all based on donations?

Also don’t just lurk, if you know you should answer because lemmy only counts users who posted or commented as active users.

    It is really pretty grim to think that we are conditioned to think that our internet NEEDS to benefit a corporate and its millionaire shareholders.

    I never thought about it like that but you’re absolutely right. It’s a shame everything is about money. But oh well, I guess such is capitalism

      Not just about making money, you gotta make enough money over what you take in that rich people can make significant returns too. Simply being profitable is not even enough, because if your investors find better returns elsewhere, that’s where their money goes.
