*looks around at Lemmy*
I love y'all.
... but also pay to support your instance. Don't be a leech.
Yo can you spot me for a few months?
Or self-host
Yes but Mr lemmy.world isn't a self hoster
You're self hosting: no qualms with that.
The most populous server is mostly full of people freeloading. They're the same types who torrent without seeding.
It's usually not that big a deal as long as the server has some people chipping in for upkeep but no matter how you slice it: if your account is on a server you're either contributing to upkeep or leeching off the donations of others.
Self hosters arent leeching: they're participating in the decentralization.
With federation servers cache content from each other and then serve it to their users. If you have a ton of users you're using a ton of bandwidth. Simple as.
No. And don't fucking tell me what to do with my money. If I want to donate, I will, but fuck your attitude trying to make me look like a bad guy if I don't. I will determine what has value enough for my support.
Pretentious fuck.
Ok leech whatever you say
