i don’t think so, they have different shaped faces and bodies and different hair colors

WTF? Are they trying to get hit with brute force attacks?

Even calling it a news update isn’t really accurate. It’s more akin to “water is wet.”

What we had has gone away.

that’s the kind of line i would come up with in the shower three days later and be so mad i didn’t think of on the spot

sometimes i get ads for like maternity stuff or jewelry or cars

i’m a guy with a vasectomy and not enough money for a car

it’s very funny

i’m confused, what is this meant to be riffing on

even when the tweet that this screenshot came from is included and shows that it was posted by a woman

don’t be ridiculous, this guy doesn’t have emotions.

or at least, he doesn’t think he does.

That’s certainly a valid and important question, but I’m not sure how relevant it is to the question of how Lemmy increases its operating revenue. If I’m living minimalist but my issue is I can’t sustainably afford housing, food, and healthcare, there’s no way to solve that problem without solving the fundamental issue of me not making enough money. My impression is that that is the main question facing Lemmy at this moment, and so that’s what I was focused on.

I suspect most financial advisors would tell you that managing money is what you do when you have some.

As in, some kind of “contributor” badge next to your username? That’s also definitely a good way to do it. Basically, if it makes donations visible on the community level, I think it’s a benefit.

If it was just built into the base software, then every instance would have the option available by default, no? And then it would just be a question of directing the money to the right place and displaying the relevant icon on the awarded post or comment.

I’m no software engineer, though, so it’s entirely possible everything I’m saying is total bollocks. Still, worth considering if we’re thinking about the long-term health of this place, IMO.

I bet if we stole the idea of reddit gold and allowed people to award comments and posts, but 1. no premium membership and 2. make it clear that the money is going to help keep the service running, that would bring in a lot of revenue without harming the community.

oh-wah-ah-ah-ah

i don’t think this was intended as an entirely serious complaint.

personally i’m very impressed with how well it’s still running right now despite the influx

wow me too, what are the odds

A day that will live in Internet infamy.

More like giving them what they implied you should have given them.
