Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Nope, they are being paid now. They receive an immense amount of donations now, enough to likely make a solid monthly income. Take a look at their liberapay page if you don't believe me. I understand that to a degree, but it only goes so far. When they are actively ignoring safety features despite its urgency in spite of that fact is difficult to justify.

The software provided as is. Period. They never agreed to be support boys for someone, and the amount of work doesn't really correlate to the amount of money they get from donations unless they both live in a third world country.

It's just a matter of not being entitled, that's it. All I'm asking for is so that people would be more polite to FOSS devs. If they stop doing their work right now what are you going to do? Implement the mod tools yourself? Then go ahead.
That's part of the trolling though, yeah? Thay make the devs, admins and mods feel unappreciated so that they quit. This is a systematic take down of lemmy from all sides.
Absolutely. It's already worked on some instances as well. It's upsetting.
