How Much Each Project Gets Monthly in USD

That's split between him and Nutomic though. USD $4250 is €3,665.80 (as of writing this comment), divided between them is €1,832.90. That's not a lot.
I mean, it's equivalent to the minimum salary i guess. I think they're european, and in france the minimum salary is around 1800€ before taxes. That's not a lot in the absolute, but in the foss world, it is quite comfortable.

I moved to Piefed because the Lemmy devs are pro-fascist tankies. I can provide proof.
Does piefed have an iOS client yet?

Voyager and Mlem have both recently introduced basic Piefed support, and I believe both plan to expand it in the near future.

Dont know, but why do you need an app when it is an http sandbox for the mobile site that already works in a browser?
Why does every fucking thing need an app? Just use the website. It looks and works the exact same way, but doesn't send telemetry to Apple or Google.

Expressing concerns about moderation policy on lemmy.ml - Lemmy.World
This was originally posted to lemmy.pineapplemachine.com [http://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com]: https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/post/5781 [https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/post/5781] It has also been posted to lemmy.ca [http://lemmy.ca]: https://lemmy.ca/post/591991 [https://lemmy.ca/post/591991] — Lemmy is federated and decentralized and that means that we can all coexist regardless of our differing political opinions. I think it’s important to preface this by saying that I am not offended by or concerned with anyone’s politics, and I’m certainly not here to argue with anyone about them. My concern is that users are being banned and content is being removed on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] citing a rule that is not publicly stated anywhere that I have seen. Moderators of lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] are removing posts and comments which are critical of the Chinese government and are banning their authors. This came to my attention because of how lemmy user bans are federated just like everything else, and I was confused about why my instance had logged a lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] user ban citing “orientalism” as the reason for the ban. Screenshot of my own instance’s modlog, as viewed by an admin [https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/pictrs/image/81e3aa97-9fa0-4045-b27a-76d7f8a304e8.png] I noticed that the banned user had recently commented on a post in !worldnews@lemmy.ml [/c/worldnews@lemmy.ml] that had been removed with the reason “Orientalist article”.

It was published by axios.com [http://axios.com], which mediabiasfactcheck describes as having “a slight to moderate liberal bias” and gives its second-highest ranking for factual reporting. The article writes unfavorably of Chinese President Xi Jinping. https://www.axios.com/2023/06/06/china-may-face-succession-crisis [https://www.axios.com/2023/06/06/china-may-face-succession-crisis] https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/axios/ [https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/axios/] I had not remembered seeing anything in lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]’s rules that would suggest that “orientalism”—meaning, as I understand it, the depiction or discussion of Asian cultures by people in Western ones—was against the rules. So I checked, and I found that there was not. Not on the instance’s front page, and not in !worldnews@lemmy.ml [/c/worldnews@lemmy.ml].

This is where I went from confused to concerned. Lemmy instances have public moderation logs, which I think is a very positive thing about the platform. So I looked more closely at lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]’s moderation log. Please note that moderation logs are also federated. It’s hard to be 100% sure which instance a mod action is actually associated with, looking at these logs. The previously mentioned user ban and post removal were, I think, definitely actions taken by lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] moderators. My own instance’s mod log identifies the banning moderator as a lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] admin, and the removed post was submitted to a lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] community. I’ve done my best to verify that all of the following removals were really done by lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] moderators, but I can’t be absolutely certain.

I would not enforce a rule against orientalism on my own instance. But I think that lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]’s moderators are entitled to enforce whatever rules they please. It’s only that, as the largest single lemmy instance so far, I believe that they have an obligation to disclose these rules, and an obligation to not ban users or remove content for failing to follow unobvious and unstated rules. I’d like to raise some awareness about this, and I’d like to openly ask the moderators of lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] to state the rules that they intend to enforce clearly and explicitly. I will be very clear and state it again: I am not asking for anyone to change their opinions or to not enforce a rule that they believe in. That is the great thing about lemmy, that we can coexist in this federated community even when we don’t share the same opinions. What I am asking is for lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]’s rules to be clearly stated, because I think it does not reflect well on the broader community if the predominant instance moderates its users and content according to rules that are not being explicitly disclosed.

Lemmy ask you anything (again)
The Lemmy developers hosted an AMA, and I take a look at some of the comments that stood out to me.
fediversereport.com (fediversereport.com)
The Lemmy Developers are now personally blocking and banning users and communities critical of Tankies and the Developers. - sh.itjust.works
A few years ago, the Lemmy Developers decided to keep their political views on lemmygrad while keeping lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] more neutral. Now they are banning users who are critical of their actions and bigotry. Anti-Tankie posts may put you at risk of being banned from commenting and posting on the lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] instance.
(sh.itjust.works)
They responded to the accusations with the following press-releases, but I'm not convinced:
-
No money for tankie devs!
I mean you can always find an excuse not to donate
-
I mean you can always find an excuse not to donate
I'm honestly looking for any reasonable excuse I can to donate. I had a conversation with the devs back when they were begging across Lemmy a few months ago, and I told them that even if they just committed to stop moderating on .ml (while still running it as admins as their test instance), I'd set up a recurring donation.
But as we can clearly see from their ridiculous behavior recently as recorded on the various tankiejerk communities, they have not done so, and so I am not morally comfortable with sending them any money.
The ball's in their court.
Edit: Remember, folks, that when baited by someone from lemmygrad or hexbear, the only correct response is to not engage.
-
I think it all comes down to using python instead of Rust right?
not quite. While it's true that rust has a reputation for taking longer to write and release in, green field development is a lot easier to work in than stuff that already has a lot of moving parts and places that you need to consider the affects of changing one thing to somewhere else.
-
Now calculate the donations per active user and the difference becomes very small.

"pro-fascist" and "tankie" are polar opposites. There is a clear contradiction in your claim.
Or you used the liberal definition where fascist means "not white enough" and tankie means the same...
