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.

    They made this. It’s free. They’re asking for donations.

    Maybe try not being a reactionary piece of shit for three minutes for once in your life and realize the very software you’re using is the result of leftist ethos and ethic. Dumbass.

      This at least half a dozen times now I’ve seen liberals post the Lemmy donation call to whine about the developers. Kindly helping to put the message out there.
