First post on the glorious Fediverse. I joined the moment the protest start, and I have to say, I have yet to see a single advertisement, targetted or otherwise, sans a few honest (fedditors? Don't hang me) offering commission work. I was born just in time to see the death of IRC and the birth of targetted advertising and social media headed by corporate interest. Mark my words, Lemmy, I ain't going back. I really hope this is the start of a shift to a renewed, decentralized internet.

PS. Who do I donate to? Is there a patreon for Lemmy or general instances?
