Gladly started donating to Lemmy, the .world servers, and the Connect for Lemmy app developer

Just thought it was funny that looking back I've used Reddit for over 10 years and I never actually paid them a dime. I feel really good about donating so much money monthly here, though, because I have so much hope for this place and a brighter future for us all in the fediverse. So glad to have a place ready to catch me when I drifted away from something I've been doing so long! Love the new home here! Let's all run off a cliff together!

Well you didn't donate any money, but you donated your content and your time, especially if you were moderating. As a Reddit user they pretty much own you.

Spending time on a thing is really no different than spending money on a thing. Everybody's time is worth something.

Everything you donate here goes to supporting a community, everything you donate there goes to lining fatcat pockets.

True, I hadn't thought of it that way. Well I'm done donating that haha

Same. Never gave refit Reddit a dime during my 12 years there. Signed up for the patreon on world couple of days back.
