  • 1$ per year per registered user would be more than enough to pay the hosting costs with a very good amount of pocket money per admin. 1$ per year per MAU would be enough to pay the hosting costs indefinitely.

    To actually pay the admins and sysadmins according to their effort, it would require something close to to 10$ per month per MAU

  • Any time I read "entrepreneur" in someone's bio, it's a red flag.

    But ye it seems they threw the towel because they moved so much to the right, they're more comfortable in Twitter now

  • There's a reason I'm speaking so confidently 😅

  • Lol that's our server

  • Well when one runs an instance of 1000+ mau they need to accept it's not "their house" anymore. Those that don't, quickly end up in shit storms against their communities 😅

  • It's ok, I don't mind people challenging me.

  • Speaking from extensive experience, they cannot and most people rely on us to handle it for them.

  • Of course I see your point you're trying to make , but I also think you're naive and don't understand the repercussions of what you're suggesting

  • Mate, if you don't like the way we run things, go somewhere else. You're not forced to be here.

  • Personal cp filtering automation and a shared blacklist

    Oh just those, eh?

    Just goes to show how little idea you have how difficult this problem is.

  • Nobody is stopping people from expressing their views, but we're not obligated to view them, or give them a platform to say them.

  • Yep. I made a point to troll then with that at the time.

  • Not to discourage you, but expect this sort of bot to be banned on reddit side very quickly. I had way more innocuous reddit bots banned without reason or recourse.

  • I am very much aware

  • It's not really the backup since last year, but the primary, but reddit won't let me shut down /r/piracy and the other mods who took over my top spot after reddit removed me still believe in reddit, so they refuse to leave and call lemmy still the backup.

  • Honestly I never have to do it unless I'm extraordinarily bored and have nothing better to do.
