You’re really overthinking this buddy and making a lot of assumptions. And not to mention wasting your own damn time.

Wtf are you even smoking? See, another question that you can respond to.

Notice how it was a question? See this ‘?’

My last part was a question, not an accusation.

Lemmy has a smaller audience, so it makes sense to charge more. And everything is getting more expensive these days anyway.

How’s it tinfoil hat? It’s very clear how much tracking is going on if you don’t subscribe. None of this stuff is made up.

It’s more like blackmail tbh. “Pay or i’ll track the shit out of you and sell the data to advertisers”. I can see why people are put off, and I am also. And what’s the guarantee if we pay that the data isn’t collected and sold anyway?

I’m guessing the dev is cashing out and probably doesn’t expect Lemmy to last.

Yeah I have. I work in tech, so I know better :)

My truenas backs up to B2 Backblaze. Set it up years ago and haven’t touched it since.
