OP was taking about Tumblr, but I think it applies even more to the Fediverse: users need to develop an ethos of paying to support the sites they use. Otherwise advertisers pay the bills and call the shots.

    Lemmy is different I think. I was donating until they started defederating from stuff like piracy groups.

    They should ask for more money to fund servers / lawyers to make the community stronger which will attract more people and money.
