That’s not accurate and that’s a false equivalency and you know it, man.
I hate reddit and everything but reddit is still “free” last time I checked (though the users are the product.)
We’re here because reddit screwed up alternative app devs, and it also worsened the user experience for everyone.
And the “reddit payments” are there solely to enrich some board member assholes.
Donating to Lemmy instance maintainers so they recoup some of the server costs for something they pretty much consider a hobby is definitely not the same.
