What are your thoughts on Wren, a for-profit company allegedly acting like a non-profit?

Only time will tell, of course, but I can think of very few times this has happened- my one example being Dr Bronner's Soap Company, and if I'm wrong about that please tell me so I can stop using it as an example. Most of the time, chasing profits leads to ultimately sacrificing the very people who's backs you built your business on at the altar of the Almighty Dollar. I hope I'm wrong about Wren but for some reason I doubt it.

I really want to like Lemmy

I mean, you're being realistic, and nobody can fault you for that. The jank is going to be too much for some people, they'll come here maybe but won't stick around. Other people will come and think that the positive aspects are more important than the negative ones and they'll migrate.

I'm a FOSS nerd and advertising makes me physically sick, so I'm more than willing to put up with the frustrating things about Lemmy.

My one advice is, if you want to see more content then post it.

Ive used Bronner's exclusively for years, even brush my teeth with it. It's amazing. But it's soap, not detergent, so it's probably different than what you're used to. When I wash my clothes with it, for instance, I run a quarter cup of vinegar in the fabric softener spot to eliminate the soap residue.

If you were I, I'd keep giving to the Conservation Fund. But I'm also going to watch this thread, maybe we'll both be surprised.
