Do you ever plan on monetising this platform?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, we will never have ads, or require you to pay to use lemmy or its UI. The most we will have is links to optional donations.

well, that's great to hear. not often we get to see this sort of thing around nowadays

How even would they? It is open source and decentralized, each instance has to monitize separately.
