Why the fuck should we be paying admins to have control over our data and be able to arbitrarily ban us because they feel like it?
No. Their reward for having users is that they’re in control. Expecting users to then pay them for that control is fucking stupid, but I don’t expect most people to realize it.

You DO realize that not everyone works to attain power over other people, right?
but I don’t expect most people to realize it.
The reason people don’t realize that site owners’ reward for forking over half a salary in hosting costs for some nebulous power to hold other people in their clutching fists and cackle maniacally is because that’s not the motivator here.
Bro, why do you just trust these people when they tell you what their expenses are?
Even if some dumbass is spending $5000/month (which sounds like a load of bullshit if you’re not a moron) to host a fucking lemmy instance, why do you trust that they need to spend that money in order to provide the instance?
Have you noticed how most people buy things they don’t need just because they can? If not, then you need more life experience and it makes sense that you would take admin’s word at face value when they try to sucker you out of money.
As always, when money is involved scumbags and useful idiots come out in droves to justify each other’s existence.

I look forward to when you can see that.

You don’t sound like a very pleasant person to try and have a constructive conversation with.
I’m not sorry. Money brings out the worst in people and they need to be held accountable.
You can always ignore me.
What is “our data” in the case of Lemmy. Specifically.
Fuck you :)
Expected response from useful idiots.
thats because its thier site, instance they get set rules like it. just like reddit bans you force certain things. dont use the site then.
