All it would take is one left-leaning billionaire to fund server costs for Lemmy instances with no strings attached, and we'd never have to worry about it being commodified. C'mon George Soros, where are you at? It would be pocket change for you.
So many far right billionaires putting so much money into their hateful, bigoted causes, while progressive causes seem to die on the vine due to lack of funding.
Problem is, you don't become a billionaire without massive amounts of exploiting people for profit, and someone like that isn't going to support Lemmy since there's no profit to be had. There are no left-leaning billionaires, only neo-liberal billionaires.
I hope he wasn't serious lol, he even has three arrows on his profile pic. It's such a corporate thing to say.
