Lemmy just is seizing the means of production of threaded forums and link aggregators. Means sized! We can all go home.

eh... so long as lemmy does not allow server maintainers a means of monitezation I don't see how lemmy could support growing over a certain size... sorry.

I don't think anything stops instances from e.g. running ads, or even charging subscription fees. The code is AGPL, and AGPL permits commercial use.

Good enough. We don't need sleazy capitalists on here, the devs and server maintainers hake put and are still putting a huge amount of their time into this platform, totally unpaid. The least the rest of us can do is contribute as much as we can as our numbers grow.
