Some of them are paid , they get donation money , and also from the NLNET iirc (which is tax payer money iirc).
Anyway this isn’t how you handle feedback , there is a reason wikipedia has a guideline called assume good faith , because if you are not assuming good faith you are probably assuming bad faith and that makes it difficult for an organisation to function for obvious reasons.
Integrating with patreon or opencollective where one of the rewards is access to supporter only lemmy communities might be a good use case for a plugin system.
The project is missing developers, if you want to then implement them yourself , or fund raise the money using a bounty platform like polar, some of the ideas are fairly controversial and linus law of trail and error apply here, with that said i think lemmy could benefit from a add on system like those wordpress and discourse have and those ideas can be checked out.
Personally i had them accept some of my feedback before (e.g. i am the one who requested the ability to block an instance which got implemented despite one of the developers were against it and the other suggested i should switch instances).
Just try to be prudent and persuasive .
Any highlights from the study?
It seems mostly like “lemmy is now moderately liked”.
Companies use customer satisfaction as a way to estimate their future potential (like apple was cited as a company with a relatively high customer satisfaction, and indeed it’s stock and profits later seemed to surge).
Would be interesting to see something like that for lemmy (you can replace “customer” with “user” for this discussion it’s basically the same thing). comparing 1-10 rating of lemmy vs reddit or other platforms (but sample it well, to avoid review bombing), You can compare reddit google play rating with those of jerboa , but that has it own problems (for example a lot of people don’t use a mobile client i believe).
Codeberg and other alternatives are used by 2 people, if not more
It last reported it has about 400 members (people who pay money) , liberapay shows about 190 supports (and the number is slowly but consistently growing for years).
This is very frustrating if you want to report just one issue or make one pull request. Self-hosted repos are even worse.
It takes about a minute to make an account and store it in a password manager, it might be better because a higher threshold for contributing might mean a higher average quality of contributions.
The point is i think it is a moderation decision to do that, you are welcome to host your own instance with a modified version of lemmy.
I find that problematic from an ethical perspective.
You are not entitled to the moderation you want, host your own instance, it’s their club.
There is this proposal about feedback on moderator actions, and didn’t see a request for adding an ability to appeal , maybe open a issue?
It might be useful to have some sort of graph showing if the donations are increasing or decreasing, something like graphtreon or liberapay view income history, If they are decreasing (which might be the case as active user count and number of servers is decreasing), it might be an indication we should evaluate or reevaluate some things about the project.
I suggest people add anything really great to [email protected] .
That’s yet another example of why you should not believe everything you read online, see this .
milk-v is going to release a pretty powerful system, iirc i read it will be released in about 10 months, ventana also reportedly will release a server cpu in 2024.
I would try some community (on reddit?) of arabs living in countries where there is free speech (the democracy index might help with that) If someone is in a arab country and the instance they host publishes content that is against it’s government serious harm can come to them.
Come with me if you want to waste time
They are the only ones with any story about this now. I for one would rather wait until the investigation is done and we can understand what happened in that massacre. That being said, rape is a likely outcome.
times of israel is ranked “high” and made a similar report . (very difficult description ahead, consider if you want to read this stuff).
Two videos in particular have raised concerns of sexual assault against women, one of which shows a woman apparently bleeding into her shorts being taken out of a vehicle in Gaza; the woman is alive. The other video shows a woman stripped down to her underwear lying face down in a truck.
instagram page links to a page in hebrew that cites “love towards one another” .
Probably raped.

More than 260 bodies have been found at the site of a peace rave
toke me about 10 seconds to find this.
This was asked before, but it is under the AGPL (which means that if you modify the code you must make the modifications public), to make it a closed source project you would have to get the agreement of every contributor or rewrite it’s code which is very hard to do (and i don’t think i ever heard something like this happened). The federated aspect is another line of defense.
Consider adding it to awesome lemmy which is linked to from the lemmy readme.
