  • No, they decimate local bird population which are already in danger due to human development and pollution. In a perfect world where human factor was of no concern this wouldn't be as controversial of a take.

  • Teeth aren't covered by health insurance in the US. You have to get separate dental insurance. And most of the time they only really cover emergencies and cleaning. Everything else is out of pocket. MURICA FUCK YEAH

  • Just had a whole argument about this on that lemmyworld post that's at the top about boycotting ml cuz someone brought up how they can't donate if the developers are gonna use some of that money on ml server cost. They can't see the bigger picture. Instead they wanna cry over how their $5 or whatever donation is gonna be used. Pathetic.

  • What's more important to you? Survival of Lemmy as a platform or deplatforming some terminally online far left niche community that's loud? We might have to come to terms with the fact that we all are gonna have to go back to reddit at some point at this pace.

  • You are afforded the liberty to use their platform how you want to use it but they are not afforded the liberty to use the money they receive as donations how that want to use it. You want to control what your $5 or whatever you donate is spent on. Can you say you that's any better than reddit enforcing their corporate views on their users?

  • They are donating their time and labor to the community, and by extension you, and let anyone use the product they created with their labor and time in any way they want, including Nazi instances. Yet them using their donation funds in anyway they see fit is a bridge too far for you. Do I need to spell it out more for you? If you were morally consistent, you would not use Lemmy at all because you don't believe in free usage of a resource once it's given, whether it's time, labor or money.

  • No one is stopping other instances from defederating and stop interacting with .ml. That's the whole beauty of Lemmy. But got it so you can't be morally consistent in benefitting from their labor and time (and in a way paying you with their labor and time by you using what they developed) but you have a problem with what they choose to do with their only source of income , and yes donations are their only source of income in their personal lives. And yes you do have a problem with their views because you wouldn't be so fervent in calling their views propaganda. If you were morally consistent you would stop using Lemmy completely until they changed their political views.

  • A bit hypocritical to continue benefitting off of their labor and time by using the platform but their political views is where you draw the line, yet you continue to use the platform. Maybe if you actually believed in what you said you would stop using the platform and go back to reddit. But do go on and preach from your virtue signaling high horse about how paying $30/per month for their server coet (which they use as a testing bed) is too much for you to handle.
