Don’t know what the exact cause was/is for this big surge - but I am glad to see it. No matter what personal problems people may have with the main devs, they are doing great work on the platform.

Also of interest, since this is a good place to plug things, other threadiverse things:

And I couldn’t find a way to donate to mbin, in lieu of that:

    We get it, you hate Lemmy as a platform.

    I have been so very clear on this being about .ml and the admins in charge of it that it’s obvious you’re just posting a straw man.

    You try so hard to make it less appealing by splitting discussions on posts by reposting stuff needlessly.

    Lol, no: https://lemmy.world/comment/16087942

    Then you spearhead some movement to try to get people to not donate to Lemmy development at all, making it harder for these people who are trying to make Lemmy their life’s work to be able to even survive.

    Because they use the .ml instance and it’s influence as being associated as the “Official Dev Instance” to push their Tankie “ideology”, to include spreading dangerous misinformation and propaganda

    They could solve it almost overnight by turning over .ml to a new as fair and unbiased as possible admin team. As was also brought up in those donations threads. In fact to paraphrase another user: “Devs should do dev work and not mod work and admins/mods should do mod work and not dev work”.

      Lol to accuse you of not liking Lemmy as a platform. It doesn’t get much more strawman. Lol you’re one of the most frequent posters I see on Lemmy in general 😝

      Your intentions can be whatever. You are actively harming Lemmy and the fediverse as a whole.

      Because they use the .ml instance and it’s influence as being associated as the “Official Dev Instance”

      Really because every turn I see it seems like they push people away from joining .ml…

      fair and unbiased as possible

      What does this even mean?
