Surely hosting Google search is more expensive than hosting Lemmy when you're insinuating otherwise?

You've got it backwards.

How do I host Lemmy on my iPhone? How do I host it on a Library computer?

Don't run it on a raspberry pi, run it on the same computer you use to access the Google search you are happy to call "free".

Because you think hosting Lemmy yourself is the same monetary cost as doing a Google search.

And yet you can't fathom the difference between hosting and maintaining something, versus consuming something.

You really only think in black and white, huh?

Sad.

My computer isn't free, nor is my internet connection, nor is my electricity.

When did I call Google searches "free"?

Lemmy is free. I can self host Lemmy on a raspberry pi for exactly 0€.

Dang, where can I get a free Raspberry Pi and internet connection? That sounds awesome!

The instance I use... Is also free. I donate because I choose to, but if my friend can't afford to donate they can still use the instance. Nobody is profiting from it.

This is exactly my point. It's like when people call it "free healthcare".

Do you think Lemmy is free? Your admin is paying, and trusting you to donate to help out.

The claim was that Ubisoft called piracy "theft". Have they done that, or not?
