Or alternatively, they could stop doing what they’re doing with .ml and loads more people, including myself, would probably start donating towards development
understand that means that the devs might have to move on from Lemmy development and prioritize other work.
Oh I do, the way I see it there are 4 paths
they eek out just enough donations despite their constant merging of personal politics and their work and nothing changes
They turn over .ml to a less biased admin team that will actually keep things fair and deal with the propaganda /misinfo (Unlikely)
Lemmy development stops, and a new team without all the baggage takes over on a fork
Lemmy development stops and PieFed or other alternative fills the gap
RN they’re asking for donations, but refusing to deal with the root issue directly leading to such low donations.
I don’t really care that they’re running .ml. It’s fine if it bothers you enough to not donate to them, that’s your business. My SO is never going to agree to let me donate to Lemmy, so I’m going to see if I can eek out some time to learn the codebase and contribute that way.
