Fuck off.
Stop monetising everything, let us just enjoy our space without injecting business into it.
Some of the people in the space are tired of panhandling, and would like to actually get paid for things they do. This can include: covering monthly instance costs, selling subscriptions to premium articles for a newspaper, supporting a video creator on PeerTube, or donating to an open source project. A subscription system is one way of doing that.
And some of the people are tired of capitalism being injected into everything.
Why can we not just have a space where people can be people without monetising it?
I understand your sentiment, but you do realize that in the end someone has to pay to keep that space running, right?
I too wish for luxury gay space communism
Don't forget fully automated!
If you’re that cheap, you can register on this instance. I can assure you the owner has zero interest in making you pay for using it.
Small communities being run and paid for by self owned admins is nothing new and with how cheap it all is these days is even less of an issue.
If you really need donations, there are a million ko-fi like services.
