Stfu, I'm subbed. But as soon as I get an ad or a price hike, I'm out. And I'm not gonna blame anyone that can't or won't pay. Especially when there's ads every 2 minutes. That shit is abusive. Defending it is fucking disgusting. Can't think of anything in this world that's a bigger waste of time...like.. literally you could do anything else and it'd be more worthwhile.
Btw. How are you paying for Lemmy?
I’m not!
I also wouldn’t be bitching if they charged or wanted ads.
At that point I would probably just pay them.
