    Lemmy has gotten quite a bit of money in grants. It’s safe to say that without the grants allowing the lemmy devs to work on it full time, it wouldn’t be as functional as it is now. Getting grants really isn’t easy and that shouldn’t be the barrier to whether or not you can be compensated for your work.

    I am not opposed to developers funding their projects with ads

    Doesn’t sound like it from your initial statement

  If you are suggesting ads are the only way to fund software then you are mistaken. For example you can sell it for money to consumers.
