I dont think paying money is the answer. But it may make sense for some people in some cases.
For example: for someone who uses gmail.. switching to protonmail is a huge leap. And donating money(or buying service) is a way to ensure that it remains sustainable and continues to grow.

just a note- that 911 response times are still often criticized, lately. might be worth thinking about.

according to kagiGPT..
~~i have determined that wayland is the successor and technically minimal:
*Yes, it is possible to run simple GUI programs without a full desktop environment or window manager. According to the information in the memory:

You can run GUI programs with just an X server and the necessary libraries (such as QT or GTK), without needing a window manager or desktop environment installed. [1][2]

The X server handles the basic graphical functionality, like placing windows and handling events, while the window manager is responsible for managing the appearance and behavior of windows. [3][4]

Some users prefer this approach to avoid running a full desktop environment when they only need to launch a few GUI applications. [5][6]

However, the practical experience may not be as smooth as having a full desktop environment, as you may need to manually configure the environment for each GUI program. [7][8]*~~

however... firefox will not run without the full wayland compositor.

correction:

1. Wayland is not a display server like X11, but rather a protocol that describes how applications communicate with a compositor directly. [1]

2. Display servers using the Wayland protocol are called compositors, as they combine the roles of the X window manager, compositing manager, and display server. [2]

3. A Wayland compositor combines the roles of the X window manager, compositing manager, and display server. Most major desktops support Wayland compositors. [3]

similar to craigslist personals.
and look how much better the world is now. /sarcasm

thats may be realistic.. ( esp given that americans max out their credit cards to the point of debt).

just so happens to coincide with need for labor and worker empowerment.
"dont start a union! get a promotion and make 3X the rent instead!"

i understand. so how about 1.5

technically every social media site can and will be used to affect elections in some way.

water is wet.

this is despite facebook and regulators turning a blind eye and downplaying privacy concerns for the last 20 years.

tunnel all your data through a very special GOOGLE server.

overpriced. limited utility. inferior to smartphones.

niche communities are [both] hard AND easy.
some niche communites have a hard time staying active on ordinary reddit. (so therefore what does that mean for lemmy's sucess rate)
on the otherhand:
reddit nich communites are such a horrific failure , in many cases, that literally one active poster would make lemmy versions massively superior to shitty mainstream reddit.

i pretty much dont give a fuck what companies do.
except its hella destructive/wastefull to the environment.. and also will probably drive up the price of computers for everyone.
