The latest blog post about our .world and the Fedihosting Foundation. As you can read in the blog, the donations are no longer covering our running costs. If you are able to spare a few Euro's or dollars or whatever currency, please check the list of our donation platforms in the blog.

Edit: I will add these to the blog: https://bunq.me/fhf (for EU bank transfers) https://github.com/sponsors/Fedihosting-Foundation (Github Sponsor)

I'm assuming that you're referring to the Lemmy developers. FHF supports Lemmy development with a monthly donation of €50, same as we do for Mastodon development.

If it makes you feel better, there are enough other people donating who don't mind some or all of their donation amount going towards Lemmy development to offset your donation not being used for Lemmy development contributions.

It's not worth the effort to set up independent purpose-bound donation pools to separate donations from people unwilling to support certain people/organizations, as the end result would be the same, except a lot more maintenance/accounting overhead. Calculating with the current expenses of €1,700/month, this is less than 3% of the total donations we'd need to cover our bills.

OR, crazy idea here, I know...

Just don't give money to fascists?

I will not donate a single cent as long as it's being split with that scum.

If Lemmy can't survive cutting fascism out of it's development, than it doesn't deserve to live.

It's not being "split", they give a flat 50 € regardless of whether you donate 0 € to them or 1 million €. In fact if more people donate to .world this will, infact, water down the percentage.

If the organisation had a monthly revenue of 1 000 000 € and gave 50 € to them, this would be such a vanishingly small percentage (0.005%) that it could well be argued to be negligible

What a passive agressive response

It isn't worth donating if my money goes to .ml admins, any amount

It's morally wrong to give money to people who use their platform to spout fascist propaganda
