  3. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below
  4. Not ad nauseam inducing: please make sure it is a question that would be new to most members

I'll start:

  • Some significant portion of funds go towards development of the Lemmy software. 80%? Rest goes to lemmy instance hosting.
  • Ads are reasonable and non-intrusive (no popups etc)
  • People can still browse w/ an adblocker

I personally would gladly turn off my adblocker if I knew the ads were supporting development. Hell, I might even click a few!

At the same time, a website has no legal or moral obligation to be of service to anyone.

When you use a website, they have the option to turn it into an agreement. If this is employed in such a way that it follows how agreements should work, none of this would be an issue. That isn't random. Have you never heard the adage "property is nine tenths of the law"?
