Highlighting the recent report of users and admins being unable to delete images, and how Trust & Safety tooling is currently lacking.
Hey everyone, I just wanted to thank you for the lively conversation and thought-provoking insights.
We don’t have to agree on every point (or at all), but I’ve decided to synthesize a lot of thoughts and ideas from these conversations into a blog post: https://deadsuperhero.com/2024/03/economic-musings-on-federated-networks/
If your are going to act so entitled just because the devs get 2k euro a month (which is under the average income in france and germany) you should just go back to reddit
Just wow that is how they start it
They’re not wrong. On multiple occasions the devs have acted like assholes, this one as well. Especially the part where they initially didn’t think GDPR would apply because they aren’t a commercial entity (paraphrasing) is comically depressing.
Having said that, I won’t be cancelling my donations anytime soon. Assholes though they might be, I still want to pay back to the Lemmy community, and I can’t think of a better way than this.
…
It’s pretty fucked up you post your blogs, read people’s comments, and use those to write your next blog post.
Like, real fucked up …
I’m a long-time contributor to the space, and have been here for over 15 years. I was on the Fediverse when it was literally one or two platforms, and I witnessed the whole thing grow and evolve. I’ve seen the entire thing take shape, and change with every subsequent wave of platform, user migration, and major pivot.
I also ran community management for one of the large-scale early projects here.
A huge motivating factor of mine has been to write about a nascent and evolving space that I’m passionate about, often because no one else has been writing about it. I grew my own publication, We Distribute, out of it, and it’s my responsibility to report on different aspects of what happens in the space. Sometimes, the news is ugly.
My personal blog at my domain is unrelated to that, and is more just random brain droppings based on whenever I feel like putting out personal thoughts based on my experiences. There’s nothing malicious about that.
Not sure I’m seeing what’s fucked up about this. It’s not like they’re using people’s comments as their own work. They link back to this thread. It just seems like a place where they can dump a bunch of their own thoughts related to a topic without posting it here since it’s not necessarily in line with this thread’s topic anymore. And I thought it was an interesting read and appreciated them posting it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dude has a 4 year Lemmy account with 160 comments…
Supposedly some kids of developer, but from his last two blog posts he doesn’t seem to know much about how it works, and that last article he just rants about Lemmy admins, Devs, and users…
I dunno, I blocked them.
