    Maybe they are all the same company, making shitty free services to try to steer you to paying for better services.

    Do you expect free services with no catch? You either pay with money or with something else

          You don’t have to give either money and there is the option to give both money.

            Someone has to pay lemmy. If you don’t, it’s comparable to a free tier of a paid service. When I say “you” I don’t mean every single person. There’s no option to pay for google search that I’m aware of.

              Nobody has to pay for anything Lemmy or ActivityPub related because its FOSS.

              That means Free Open Source Software.

              As in, you can get and use the source code yourself without paying a single cent.
