Hello, sh.itjust.works community!

A few months ago we began accepting donations to help cover the hosting and equipment costs of running this instance. We have been overwhelmed by your generosity and support! It truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for helping to keep this instance running.

We would like to take an opportunity today to encourage everyone to also support Lemmy software development. We would not be here without the years of work that the software devs have put into creating this tool. There are certainly some users here with strong political opinions toward the lead developers. However, at the end of the day, we are all creating and maintaining this community together.

Nutomic recently posted a request for donations. Please take a look and consider sending some support their way:

This is definitely a conflict for me. On the one hand, the money goes towards furthering the development of Lemmy. On the other hand, it goes towards (indirectly, but still) supporting Chinese and Russian online propaganda. Is there no one else contributing towards the development of Lemmy that we can donate to?

Directly. Nutomic and the other dev mod and manage the tankie instances, and Nutomic himself is a known transphobe.
