That's not what your question says though. Your question asks for reasons why you should support the development of Lemmy because you don't like the moderation decisions that the developers make on their instance. That's a different question than "how can I support the software without supporting the people making it." The answer to that is you can't.

As others have said, you can fund your instance if you so choose. You can also try to fund a fork/replacement.

My life goal is to not work...which is why I'm not spending my money on a status symbol.

  1. I find it useful for work (I am a software developer/tester).
  2. I think it's about as good as it's ever going to get.
  3. I believe it is not ever going to be profitable and the benefits are not worth reopening nuclear and coal power plants.
  4. If US courts rule that training AI with copyrighted materials is fair use, then I will probably stop paying for content and start pirating it again.

Needs to be a Ram 1500 with truck nuts to be at least centrist.

Yes and it's likely that they will not be allowed to any longer after Google lost their anti-trust case.

Gerrymandering is a hell of a drug.

Same. I've read that this is because that part of your brain isn't functioning or something. I have no source. Just "I think I heard this once."

Yeah I contribute to OSM but apps like OsmAnd are a far cry in features from Google Maps. The paths are very much not optimized. If I tell it to go back to my hometown it takes me about 15 minutes out of the way. And I can't tell it to go to a certain house because the houses aren't mapped yet.

Should I help map them? Yes. But for your average user that's not going to work.

I think it's better to take the Nazi's money and use it for good. YMMV. Whatever you do will be fine, I'm sure.

It depends on what you mean by "peaceful." I took it to mean "quiet", not "the absence of violence. "
