A clean slate (lemmy.world)

I know in my heart that it probably won't last, but I have such an awesome feeling of a clean slate with Lemmy. It feels so much more like the old internet before it just became a shopping cart. I don't know how long we can enjoy this brave new world, but I am here for it.

Might I suggest we start paying for it this time, from the beginning? All of the sites we have been enjoying since the birth of Google have been a lie. They are all on borrowed time.... myspace, google, facebook, youtube. each was loosing money for a decade before they had to start making money. We could CHANGE THAT NOW, if we all agreed to start chipping in on storage and transmission costs. I have no faith that it lemmy will last forever. eventually, it'll get centralized somehow. But we could keep it decentralized for longer if we start normalizing having to pay for the content we enjoy

I'm all for that. I was a reddit premium subscriber up until this mess and I am more than happy to shift that money plus over to Lemmy.
