Ok so now we have a one time purchase option, now someone make it make sense how it costs more to buy lifetime access to a months old site, than it did for me to buy the same upgrade for a longstanding site I knew Id be using for years. As far as I'm concerned lemmy is still just a possible reddit replacement, at least until we see that it has the longevity we all want.
You're not buying access to a site, you're buying a great piece of software. Users generally expecting free content and software is what got reddit and other social media into the sad state they're in now.
So much this. The old internet where everything is free because you're the product needs to die.
