            What does Lemmy exist to sell?

            Not everything is some capitalist bullshit.

              Oh, so you’re saying Lemmy is selling freedom from capitalism, and nothing remotely related to ‘capitalism’’ should ever be posted on Lemmy?

                No I’m saying Lemmy is a free service and that not everything has to be about buying shit.

                We get bombarded by advertisement in every cm of our lives, there’s no need for us to willing spread such evils.

                  But did you think it was funny? That’s why I posted it.

                  There is heaps of advertising etc around and I’d recommend you train yourself to ignore it. You won’t be able to go outside or use 90% of the internet otherwise.

                  The fact this is an ad doesn’t stop me from laughing at it. It’s certainly not going to make me rush out and buy anything or do anything different from what I’m doing.

                  Lemmy is not free. The user community funds the developers of Lemmy by direct donations. As for us, aussie.zone costs a little over $100/month to run. Our own generous users fund us.

                  While we don’t need to advertise to fund lemmy, be assured that someone somewhere is paying for it.

    Bottas is awesome. It’s odd that for years he always seemed very straight laced. We saw glimpses of his inner beast when he started getting naked with Lewis. He then went full beast when he unveiled the mullet.
