Whats interesting is that both income , profits and the stock have been growing well for years, maybe they are just monetizing more aggressively because they can’t compete on product quality (unlike other markets that are still evolving, AI and Cloud). not a ton of stuff to improve in operation systems it seems.

Is it the user-created part? The subscribing part?
Yeah basically those parts, i guess , for example if i want a multireddit i want “news” without the politics and certain communities (e.g. business and “the police problem” i don’t want), i guess that’s a typical use case for average Joe, he wants news but not too much news. i think there is research showing too much news is bad for mental health and social media might cause radicalization (see a scientific systematic review of the subject)
multireddits is the most requested issue on lemmy , any chance it will be implemented for piefed soon? . the ability to subscribe to posts and incrementally read them is really great so i hoping your project might be better at prioritizing and using feedback effectively. It could really attract more developers/donors/content creators which is good.
So it will have good mainline linux support?
I mostly donate w Bitcoin
Aren’t there better coins with better privacy (which might be a helpful property , because being known as a generous person might make you a attractive target to charity scams attempts) and also much lower fees (monero? nano? , which reportedly has no fees) and faster transactions times? (if we are using digital currencies, we might as well try to support the best project by using it).
openhub defines it as “moderately active”.
It’s good to see enhancement in moderations tools , there was a lot of feedback on that so i am happy this is being worked on.
With that said donations seem at a all time low (3,524), lower then when the new website started reporting donations ($3,962). on june 2 it was €4,010 , could the lemmy.ml censorship drama be related to this? maybe there is a way to mitigate this event?
