You literally sent that from a FOSS platform...

I give lemmy money. Not so for google

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.

Not true because we're getting the same experience whether we pay or not. The same kinda goes for google, they have other services you could pay to support them (please don't), and it won't make the search engine better. Big difference is one of them is actually free (full meaning of the word) and the other one is just usable without paying.

You're still using a free platform to say good free software is not a thing tho, kinda weird.
