    You can set up a Lemmy instance with just a docker file lmao it’s not exactly a large scale operation to upkeep.
    If somehow every Lemmy instance went paid only, I’d host my own instance and invite my friends to use it too.

      This is basically just paying with your time/hardware/electricity rather than money.

        Okay? And currently people pay with donations. The suggestion from SkyNTP was, in the most condescending what, what would you do if it became a paid-subscription. Paying with your time or on donation are acceptable. Paying as a part of a subscription is not for me, and I imagine many in the FOSS-oriented fediverse.
