Can someone provide clarity on data ownership ? Can we make it so the data can't be sold, monetized or used in any detrimental way towards society via an ELA?

Also like, how can this website survive? Server costs will grow but we're all very against ads which is why we left Reddit basically. Is lemmy just going to rely on donations?

I think donations via something like Patreon, or subscriptions via an app are eventually totally reasonable for a Lemmy instance. I got enough utility out of Reddit that I would have been willing to pay a few bucks a month for an ad free app subscription. Reddit’s unreasonable, shortsighted management was the problem there. Once Lemmy starts to mature more and there is content worth paying for I’m ready to do my part to make sure it can continue without corporate involvement.

Wikipedia, NPR, OPs mom…all expensive institutions that survive on donations

Im not against ads per se, and ads aren’t why I left Reddit. Not saying I want ads here but I’m also a recurring contributor to mastodon.world which is where lemmy.world is being funded from.
