First post on the glorious Fediverse. I joined the moment the protest start, and I have to say, I have yet to see a single advertisement, targetted or otherwise, sans a few honest (fedditors? Don’t hang me) offering commission work. I was born just in time to see the death of IRC and the birth of targetted advertising and social media headed by corporate interest. Mark my words, Lemmy, I ain’t going back. I really hope this is the start of a shift to a renewed, decentralized internet.
PS. Who do I donate to? Is there a patreon for Lemmy or general instances?
I joined the FMHY instance because of the description when I was looking for where to join. So, probably a stupid question, but; why wouldn’t they have a donate page to keep the instance going?
I can only speculate here, but the idea of accepting money for any piracy related endeavor (good faith or not) makes my skin crawl as an old school pirate. Maybe the owner is the same way.

Asking for money would completely remove the F in FMHY.
