Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development

Do not discard imperfect allies.
I do not agree with their political view etc. but I can see that the development of Lemmy is a net positive.
Shutting down .ml won’t save them much money, it doesn’t cost much to run a instance, developing software instead of having a tech job on the other hand…
People will be more willing to give them money if they shut down lemmy.ml
People should stop being brainwashed freeloaders then
I’ve sure people would also be more willing to give money of they were Vegan.
By being overly critical of our allies we damage our movement.
Dessalines is vegan, for what it’s worth. Gave me a few good recipes for seitan!
Drag hopes their financial system becomes desperate enough, and enough people say it’s about lemmy.ml, that they realise they have little choice but to take lemmy.ml offline. If that happened, they would still be able to develop for Lemmy full time, and the tankie nonsense would be gone. Everyone wins.
