eh... so long as lemmy does not allow server maintainers a means of monitezation I don't see how lemmy could support growing over a certain size... sorry.
Good enough. We don't need sleazy capitalists on here, the devs and server maintainers hake put and are still putting a huge amount of their time into this platform, totally unpaid. The least the rest of us can do is contribute as much as we can as our numbers grow.
I don't think anything stops instances from e.g. running ads, or even charging subscription fees. The code is AGPL, and AGPL permits commercial use.
