Anyone else getting these donation ads? Was it just shoved onto an update by the Lemmy devs, or is this coming from the instance admins? It doesn't seem to show on clean browser sessions to lemmy.ca

About a month before lemm.ee went offline there was a huge drama about the devs asking various instance admins to advertise their need for donations. Wild that they are already doing this again
"Our funds" Their server. As always ML is a parasite of the proletariat.
I don't have to agree with a developer's politics to use their software or even support it. as long as it doesn't go towards self-destructive or otherwise bad behavior. When Desalines and Nutomic demanded that we must accept our donations, go towards that. They childishly cut themselves off from a large number of possible donations.
If they want to run such advertisements on their own Instance, that's their own prerogative and more power to them. If they are pushing this on the other people's instances, especially without them opting in. That's so on brand, on many fronts for ML. That it is hilarious.
