That's not what your question says though. Your question asks for reasons why you should support the development of Lemmy because you don't like the moderation decisions that the developers make on their instance. That's a different question than "how can I support the software without supporting the people making it." The answer to that is you can't.

As others have said, you can fund your instance if you so choose. You can also try to fund a fork/replacement.

You should not continue supporting it if you don't feel that the developers aren't deserving of your money.

There's so much closed-source business software that only runs on x64 that x64 will be here for a very long time.

My wife works for the state and had to go from Columbus, OH to Detroit, MI for a professional conference. That's about a 3 hour car ride.

She's not allowed to take a personal vehicle to go. State vehicles are not allowed to leave the state. She had to fly there. She said it was easily slower to fly when factoring in getting to the airport, checking bags, etc. than to drive.

I'm going to Montreal next month and we're driving because the flights from Columbus aren't that much faster.

Ohioan here. I would absolutely never drive that.

25 hours from what I can tell. And you can't take the full trip with Amtrak or at least they don't give an itinerary for it. You have to take a bus somewhere to hit the train.

The cop did that because he knows there is no accountability for doing so. He thought it'd be cool, so he did it.

I watched Pig just recently almost as a joke. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Law is unclear what happens to Trump and GOP certainly won’t impeach

The law is extremely clear on what happens. Nothing. The only way the President can be removed from office is through the impeachment process. He could be conceivably charged after he is removed from office, but he would remain the President until his term ends.

It's another Electron app now. At least "New Outlook" is.

I knew "chav" was British slang, but I found it hilarious that the OP provided synonyms that didn't help in any sense.
