That’s not accurate and that’s a false equivalency and you know it, man.
I hate reddit and everything but reddit is still “free” last time I checked (though the users are the product.)
We’re here because reddit screwed up alternative app devs, and it also worsened the user experience for everyone.
And the “reddit payments” are there solely to enrich some board member assholes.
Donating to Lemmy instance maintainers so they recoup some of the server costs for something they pretty much consider a hobby is definitely not the same.

Nah. Im here because I didn’t want to pay.
But you didn’t have to pay. So…
But regardless, we’re all here.
You were never forced to pay though… And no one else is here for that (non-existent) reason.
You can’t just say “we” and then give a completely illogical reason.
YOU and only you are here because you are an idiot and thought you had to pay, no one else is part of that.
You don’t need to pay there either, so feel free to go back.
