I was thinking either Spez’d or Musked. E.g: Reddit got Spez’d when they killed 3PA.
But the funny thing is that both Spez and Musk were AHoles to the degree that Spez’d and Musked already have their own meaning. Just check urbandictionary

I mean, the people don‘t need to all be in lemmy.ml, I’m in kbin right now and got another user on sh.it.justworks too and access lemmy.ml and world and so on all from those. Also people like myself with some knowhow and a spare raspberry pi or NAS or maybe even a server could basically host ourselves and maybe a few other users to help out, so the server costs could be shared a bit more.
It‘s a good point though, additional fundraising is important for a sustainable growth especially if Reddit keeps up this path. I think the lemmy devs do have donation pages and get I think the said 1500€ a month for two of them which isn‘t amazing, but at least something.
To clarify, I was using lemmy.ml as my example. Right now, Kbin, Lemmy.ml, and Lemmy.world are all roughly tied for user base size. If that pattern continues, you can probably avoid enshittification by including features such as tha ability to port accounts (which is supposedly coming) and entire communities (which I’m not aware of).
One of the unavoidable vulnerabilities in the Lemmyverse is that you have to host a community on a specific server. That means that even if we have a ton of self-hosted instances, the big communities are going to end up on big instances. And whoever controls those instances can in turn control a lot of the Lemmyverse.
I know it would probably annoy some users, but I would support adding donation buttons directly to the interface of Lemmy / Kbin. Or at least making it explicit that they want donations.
What a thoughtful comment! Both of these abilities are going to be so important to enable users to migrate as soon as things go wrong yeah.
I wouldn‘t mind more prominent donation buttons either, at least as long as it doesn‘t move or flash like an ad would.
How dare you!! Rage!! Anger!!/sThis nugget is always down for a good internet discussion!
