  • I love the fediverse, but there are a ton of whiny entitled people here who don’t understand that regular people are hosting these things with their own money and time. I do host my own Lemmy instance, and it’s been one of the most stressful things in my life. I never thought I’d have to register with the federal government as a mandatory CSAM reporter but here I fucking am. Then they go around and say “I need free ones”. The fuck you do. If you need free porn and shit go host it yourself, you can have your house raided by the feds for hosting stuff that isn’t okay.


  • Let’s see if we can put the context clues together.

    All of the free ones were shut down. Only the paid one survived.

    Well, I can only assume, but since fediverse services are hosted by real humans and not corporations, I’m going to go out on a limb and say they couldn’t afford to stay afloat.

    Another alternative is that requiring payment is a simple way to ensure that the people using your service are also 18+, since it requires a sign in form, acknowledgement, and then credit card. That helps when the feds come knocking on your door asking why you’re letting minors into your service.
