I only wonder why it's 3333€.

@andrew_bidlaw long story short, it's due to our way to democratically split our budget.

Long story short, we had 3333 € for the #threadiverse. We wanted to split between both but kbin is younger, as much less adoption, Ernest expressed a bus-factor (which is now solved given last month activity), and there is now a kbin fork. So, while sending the message to Ernest we support him, we have a stronger trust for lemmy which is more mature/popular. The rest is just making number rounds.
