If the reddit exodus happens and Lemmy gets even 2% of reddit’s daily active users, how will Lemmy sustain the increased traffic? I know donations are an option, but I don’t think long term donations will be sustainable. Most users will never donate.

I know the goal of Lemmy isn’t to make money, but I know that servers and storage costs add up quickly. Not to mention the development costs.

I would love to hear the plans for how to offset those costs in the future?

      Oh, I’m wrong. I appear to be sort of banned but with no notification or warning. I can see the content here when no authenticated. When I authenticate, I see no comments on this post. Cute. And lousy moderation.

        I love it when people get banned but somehow they’re still commenting on the same post which got them banned with absolutely no problems. Sounds like a very real ban.

        That sounds more like a bug than anything intentional, since all your comments are still here

      Yet our messages were removed from the thread.

      Seems to make my point for me. They’re hiding who they are.
