I mean, I'm only here since yesterday? Of course I will wait a month and see how things turn out before I invest money. And the problem with Mastodon was that the official app in the appstore was a absolute poorly designed lackluster that didn't even support lists. Most people don't look for third party apps.
Lemmy seems fine so far as alternative. You get enough recognition and responses, compared to a newly created Mastodon account.
I am not judging , but in for profit social media companies don't wait to start making money off you, twitter makes about 20$ a year from a active user, for meta (facebook, instagram, whatsup) it's almost 40 dollars.
Yeah, the statement was poorly made. The point of Lemmy isn't to make money either way. Any financial contribution should be immediately put back into the community, i.e investing in infrastructure, in my opinion.
