I'm curious about what flames are and what's going on to cause them.

New word for y'all.

Quagmire can be used as a noun with two different meanings. 1. A soft, soggy, swampy, area. (See marsh.) 2. A difficult and troubling situation. (See predicament.) The word has its origins with "quag" and "mire" to mean bog. The word is also figuratively used to mean "a difficult situation" [^(1)^](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/quagmire)[^(2)^](https://www.etymonline.com/word/quagmire)[^(3)^](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quagmire)

I doubt that it's real, but it might be funny to someone.

TLDR - Why don't Lemmy instances use methods like affiliate links to increase their funding? I'm a relatively new Lemmy user (I created my account today.) and I noticed that some Lemmy instances are slower than others and that video and GIFs aren't supported. To fix this, Lemmy instances would require more funding. I know that Lemmings don't want instances placing ads in their feeds, but couldn't they find other ways to receive extra funding? For example, the Pi-hole project has affiliate links on their site and they earn a bit of money every time you buy something through a link. Why can't Lemmy instances do the same? Edit: I don't mean ads and I hope they don't follow us here. I mean on the funding page for an instance, they'd have affiliate links to things like Amazon so that they could get more funding. Not as a post either, like [Pi-hole's](https://pi-hole.net/donate/#sponsorship) method.
