    Well said. I wish it wasn’t so mainstream to want to buy into something just because it’s backed by a megacorp.

      Buy into your home instance instead by setting up a recurring monthly donation. It’s doesn’t have to be a lot, some have tiers as low as $1. Alternatively, you could donate to the Lemmy dev team, or some of the devs that are creating these spiffy apps we’re using on our phones.

        Either way is good. The most important thing is for Lemmy/Kbin to be, and continue to be, a community project. I personally donate to my instance.
