Don’t know what the exact cause was/is for this big surge - but I am glad to see it. No matter what personal problems people may have with the main devs, they are doing great work on the platform.
Also of interest, since this is a good place to plug things, other threadiverse things:
And I couldn’t find a way to donate to mbin, in lieu of that:
https://docs.joinmbin.org/contributing/
EDIT: The creator of mbin gave a link in the comments: https://melroy.org/donate.html
I see Saddam Hussein.
Also, we’re doing our part. They’re still halfway from their nodest goal though.
Dev posted few weeks ago about donations being a little short and having lowered making it more difficult to support development. A lot of people then started to donate or increase their financial support.
Edit : for reference https://lemmy.ml/post/29579005
Ah, yes, that was right at the time where I was having peak personal stress/health issues and only did the bare minimum admin work on Lemmy and my other platforms, no wonder I missed it. Glad to see people actually responded to the call to action, though!
I hope you are doing better OP!
Thank you!
Awesome.
I have a monthly contribution set up. Subscribing is way better than dealing with ads.
You shouldn’t pay those tankies imo
Yea we heard , so please fuck off now? Reddit is a perfect utopia for you.
You fit in better there. Heck I bet you would really dig Instagram.
Not really i fit perfectly at a communist Foss project. You are the one with the issue so why dont you leave?
Saddam Hussein
The fact that that was my first thought is the reason I will be touching grass for the remainder of the day.
God damn it now I cant unsee it
Intended to do it long time ago, finally committed!
I have spent way too much time on lemmy this past two years, it is worth the money.
nice, its still up there.
It’s just missing everything from above the shoulders.
I really thought this was an elaborate Saddam hiding meme
That’s what he thought too.
Yeep , same … came here to post the pic but someone beat me to it lol
I came here to say this
… what does it mean‽‽‽‽
Give it the body of Elon Musk and it fits fertectly.
Is this the solution of the post?
Glad, I am not the only one seeing Saddam Hussain everywhere
What is this? I don’t get it.
Compare the shape of the graph to the shape of the graphic which represented Saddam Hussein. They’re vaguely similar.
*near perfect 8-bit representation
Great, now I won’t be able to unsee that ever again!
I’m sorry. I couldn’t help myself.
This one still has the head!
Interesting. feddit.org also saw a sudden peak in new users registering in the same time period.
Honestly, even if it’s 2p a month, it’ll add up and ensure the longevity of the service at the heart of what we all use daily.
I’m Melroy, mbin creator. You can donate via https://melroy.org/donate.html for now.
Also you didn’t link the correct project url. That is another project called mbin. This is our public site instead: https://joinmbin.org/
Whoops, corrected now. I was already surprised I had gotten a result not hosted on joinmbin.org - but just assumed maybe the docs were hosted somewhere else for some reason. Should have taken the extra minutes to check what exactly I was linking there.
You have been forgiven haha ;)
I use Lemmy daily, the least I can do is throw a bit of cash at the Devs!
You really don’t want to do that, they’re pro-Russia and anti-trans. The main devs are typical tankie scum.
They are not. Stop spreading bullshit…
Can’t slip a Saddam past us that easily!
This reminded me that I wanted to support. Just did a yearly payment. Thanks for the amazing work guys! I can’t believe a just a few people can maintain such an amazing ecosystem. One day people will understand that, in 48 hours, we could destroy the entire gafam system and replace it with a fair alternative: the Fediverse and FLOSS.
They could probably get more people if they didn’t promote Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and advocate against trans rights.
I mean, why are you here if that’s what you believe? Lemmy is much more than .ml
I’m here exactly because ml doesn’t represent us. Hopefully those losers lose so much funding that they abandon the project and somebody else picks it up.
Even if nobody picked it up that would still be better than paying those .ml dictator-cocksuckers.
Yeah, and I’m donating so we can all be here. I’m not on ml, I don’t share most of their view, I want to support Lemmy development as a whole.
Then don’t donate to those two listed above. They run ML.
You run your mouth, that’s about it. So not donating to the Lemmy devs is how you support Lemmy? Back to reddit please.
Gross, their pathetic spam worked
Ummm if you don’t think this is good news you’re definitely on the wrong platform.
Lemmy devs are awesome, Lemmy is great, and I’m happy to contribute a small donation.Lemmy devs are awesome
Lol, absolutely not
Lemmy is great
That I can actually agree on
Lol, absolutely not
care to elaborate?
They openly allow calls for the death of all americans while banning anyone who critizises the people calling for genocide.
Here I talk about getting banned from ML https://lemmy.world/post/20389892
i said i dont like hamas and they called me faschist and banned me…
Nutomic himself has quite a history with real shitty takes and horrible stances. Including transphobia Etc.
Then there is said flagship instance. It’s run as a leninist Vanguard fiefdom and Echo chamber. Not a development hub. Its lemmy.ml and not lemmy.org for a reason. Much of the most egregious moderation not being done by moderators but administrators. All directly under and at nutomic’s discression. Which people are well within their right to object to. Especially being told their donations must go towards enabling it.
There are a ton of devs out there with shitty politics. But it’s most of them are smart/mature enough to keep them separate.
So this has nothing to do with reality, you just don’t like the they don’t share your opinions.
Your projecting. I literally said in the donation thread that I don’t care if they run their own political server in their own free time with their own resources. It doesn’t matter whether or not I agree with it. What matters is that they want to tell us that we must contribute to their hobby and political crusade. They can make all the poor life choices they want. They just can’t include me or anyone else in it.
Ive referenced it in other posts, follow the link in OP to the begging thread and scroll to the comments, I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for if the comments weren’t removed
Came to post this. Monthly donations. Bumped it up recently.
