Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

      Yeah, I really hate how the Lemmy corporation abuse their users. Yesterday they released the new Lemmy subscription, Lemmy Plus, which removes their gazillion ads and their other shenanigans. Crazy stuff. Using the official Lemmy client is also pretty annoying, I miss using Lemmy third party apps. Overall I really wish there was an alternative free and open-source platform to escape to. Would be cool if it was also federated so no one is truly in control of it

      Lemmy has VC funding?

      I actually think the lack of funding means Lemmy doesnt have the same incentives to enshitify itself.
