All the principled pirates have jumped ship to lemmy so it was bound to happen sooner than later.

hmm after rereading the initial comment I mean it's not impossible but I'd posit that it's highly unlikely as the majority of us have already experienced the dynamics where doing so would drive our users away to another instance like the initial reddit implosion

I'd assume a sponsored post on a Lemmy community would just be a pinned post that a mod got money for

and yes that'd probably be it
