Only donations via Opencollective pay for lemmy.ml hosting. All other donation options are exclusively for developer salaries.

Lemmy dev here, for what its worth I stopped posting about politics years ago, and also dont do any moderation on lemmy.ml besides occasionally banning an obvious spam account. I simply dont have the time or interest anymore, and prefer to focus my time on development which benefits all Lemmy users.

Posting from alt account because these comments are not federating to my home instance.
