Or alternatively, they could stop doing what they're doing with .ml and loads more people, including myself, would probably start donating towards development
Oh I do, the way I see it there are 4 paths
they eek out just enough donations despite their constant merging of personal politics and their work and nothing changes
They turn over .ml to a less biased admin team that will actually keep things fair and deal with the propaganda /misinfo (Unlikely)
Lemmy development stops, and a new team without all the baggage takes over on a fork
Lemmy development stops and PieFed or other alternative fills the gap
RN they're asking for donations, but refusing to deal with the root issue directly leading to such low donations.
This. Literally just keep your tankie bullshit to grad and this wouldn't be an issue.
Problem is, not only is that impossible, they actively don't want to. They're the alt for grad and bear users, intentionally acting as a cover for them. The entire point is proselytizing.
To 3. what if I tell you no one is stopping anyone from doing that right now. If you think anyone is going to take over Lemmy 100% should the current devs stop, I wouldn't say it is such a sure thing.
Now I don't know why no one made a real fork just yet, but it would be an easy way out of the politics that surround the original. Hasn't happened yet. Will it ever? Time will tell.
It's mostly because it's written in Rust, not a whole lot of Open Source devs in Rust. If Lemmy was written in something like Go or TS or hell even C# it'd probably would have been forked by now lol
Also that list was just possible scenarios, not listed in any order, IMO the most likely to happen is 4, because PieFed is written in TS iirc and is why it's so much faster at development. I think 1 will happen for a while, but won't hold long term
I don't really care that they're running .ml. It's fine if it bothers you enough to not donate to them, that's your business. My SO is never going to agree to let me donate to Lemmy, so I'm going to see if I can eek out some time to learn the codebase and contribute that way.
Why the hell do you need permission to spend your money?
Because it's our money for the whole family, and we carry the scars of having had to ask for credit card limit increases to buy gas to get to work to pay the credit card.
