There’s two “full time” Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin’s personal accounts as a salary.

    The big deal to me is it’s being added to the base code, to go out on all instances.

    People will see “Lemmy developers” and assume it’s related to their instance, and not realize it’s the “salary” for two admins on one of the most problematic instances around.

    It feels like other people took the free code, did well with it, and now the creators suddenly believe in capitalism and want rewarded for their labor.

    If the only instance using Lemmy was lemmy.ml, most of us wouldn’t be here, but they want to profit off of us because our instances used free code.
