On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

    I mean they still left the begging thread up

    That was me [that crossposted; just thought mander had a good idea :)] 😅 Sorry.

    with the “separate the art from the artist” message

    That’s db0’s fault to bear :p He actually walked it back later, seeing how nutomic refused to back down his beliefs.

    If they really wanted to be based they would have banned Nutomic for being a greedy little pig boy and told people to donate to Piefed.

    Good idea–I’d love to do that. I’ve been swaying all admins on the team to (in a year or two??) maybe switch to piefed. I’ve also helped a bit with piefed development directly; even helping with some migration tool rimu/AP are interested in. Hopefully we can in the future :D

    Honestly, seeing how much of a shitshow that thread was; i think i’m going to delete it. I’ll wait for it to cool down in some days, and make a fundraiser post for rimu.

      If you migrate dbzer0 to piefed, I’ll send you a decent donation to help cover some of the costs.

      Unless Piefed gets a database import ability to port Existing Lemmy databases to that I don’t think Switching to it would be such a great idea. It would mean starting our instance from scratch and losing everything we have content, user registrations, communities. If Sublinks hadn’t stalled it could be a promising alternative, and maybe will be in the future, since it’s built around that whole concept of database and API compatibility.
