    If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.

    I don’t think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.

    Wtf was their point anyway? “You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!” posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery

      Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it’s FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.

      Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.
