Barely enough time in the day to develop new features? Quit using your “full time job” to post genocide denial and Stalin apologism.

I can’t remember the last time Lemmy added a new feature that actually benefits admins or users. The Piefed devs are constantly coming out with new features, maybe it’s because they don’t waste the whole day banning people for left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.

    No need to get upset over it, dismiss the banner and move on.

    When Wikipedia asks you for donations every year do you get all pissy and call the staff volunteering their time with various stances and opinions useless folk that don’t bring new features to it? When a food bank you donated to sends a thank you and asks if you can donate more, do you suggest their work is worthless?

    Go ahead and use, support and recommend Piefed if it’s better for you, sure. Block nutomic, dessalines or all of lemmy.ml if you don’t like their opinions or moderation policy, absolutely. But IMO, throwing shade and disrespect towards the people that built the software that Piefed was born out of is uncalled for. The way Lemmy and the Fediverse is set up, you can use the infrastructure without any real association with its founders.

      If the developers of Lemmy are so terrible … why would anyone want to use their software, support them or even have anything to do with them?

      Conversely with the Lemmy developers, if they are made out to be so hostile and unlikable to a vast part of the Lemmy community … then why are the Lemmy developers even making any of their software available and open to everyone else? If there is so much animosity between people, why would any group share their software or their products with anyone they are opposed to?

      I get the hate that people have for anarchists and communists but if there really was a full on hatred between groups … why would the developers make their stuff available for others … and why would others want to use the software?

      I’m balancing my opinion here because I do enjoy using Lemmy but at the same time I’ve been looking in who the developers of Piefed are and what their history is and I’ll be joining their software as well.

      Except for them bypassing blocks by trans people who don’t want to be harassed by these transphobic ogres
