There’s two “full time” Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin’s personal accounts as a salary.

    They likely don’t make enough to live off of from those donations.

    If it took them 4 years to make a reddit clone and it still takes two people full time to where they can’t work…

    Then they’re not doing much, certainty nothing that’s irreplaceable

      black0ut@pawb.social is right, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

      Open-source software development can be very slow sometimes. It’s not about speed, it’s about expertise. Like I said previously, they likely hold a day job besides developing Lemmy.

      I’ve been in the open-source scene for about a decade, it takes a LOT of developers or a corporate sponsor to do any work long-time. Products live and die because volunteers run out of time and / or interest.

      Again, I invite you to fork Lemmy yourself and maintain it faster than the original devs could. Put your money where your mouth is.

      Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about.
