I just said we pay. You seem to think I'm talking about Sync.

I'm not. Technically, I guess I could be talking about both server and sync.

What I've seen on Lemmy is I can say I paid for Sync and donate to the server and someone will need to come along to tell me all of that money should go to Lemmy.

That's too either/or. And it's making Lemmy look... incapable of nuanced thought. Or entitled.

It's not everyone, but it's common enough it looks really odd.
