This makes me get meta very fast: OP created this post, so they aren't lurking. It's isn't their first meme either, the profile shows about a meme per day.
So the lurking part isn't about OP. But is the other? Is it like everyone should contribute, even lurkers; or is it rather if you don't contributing via post, at least support financially?
Neither would be morally bad, don't get me wrong. I'm writing this to distract from the fact that I'm in the upper category of the meme.
If you post a link to the correct donation page it would be as good as giving 0.50$ yourself !
Well your lurking days just ended, scoundrel!!
Jokings and donations to the development of Lemmy aside, aren't we a whole nation of Lemmy server hosters with no users just hoping you'd come over make communities and stuff?
This is just the first meme i could think of after seeing the post in announcements. Meta memes are fun tho.
Also check if your instance accepts support 👍
I self-host. Donate to me.
That’s one hell of a domain name
It's one hell of a problem domain, let me tell you
I do too, but I prefer users.
We're not the same.
(or am I completely off with this meme?)
You're completely off. I don't even understand what you mean
Paid yearly, right? So that the $0.25 transaction fee doesn’t instantly chop your donation in half? Right?
librepay (which I assume OP is using), lumps donations together automatically to avoid this
Good platform, too bad about the creators' hypocrisy because the code of conduct is good as well
Explain the hypocrisy, please.
It's a somewhat often occurrence around Lemmy that adhering to the code is fleeting on their own instances
Edit: If someone doesn't know, the Lemmy project has this code of conduct in its documentation. It's really good
They are authoritarian Communists and the major ml communities have a pretty established track record of arbitrary rule enforcement. Eg, letting hexbears post thier pig shit memes, but then ml mods having a hair trigger on the ban hammer for everyone else.
I consider myself a leftist. A democratic socialist. I have studied political science and am genuinely comfortable discussing the academic principles thereof. Even so, I've caught bans for "genocide denial" for discussing the mass abduction of children, and more recently for pointing out that the US revolution generally avoided mass murder. At this point I basically have a soft ban, and anything even slightly against the grain get me another 30 days. The admins seem quite comfortable with some pretty rigid ideological protectionism, at best.
You can check my history and the modlog. I can be sarcastic and confrontational, but I am generally participating in good faith. It sure as hell feels like my ml account has been flagged for stepping out of line.
lurking, yeah...
