maybe we could use this to collect guerilla gardening strategies or something?

Am I the only person concerned that one of only two developers on Lemmy has started a new, massive undertaking, basically building a new lemmy?

I was able to complete a proof of concept in a relatively short time of four months

Interesting that they don't have time to add decent moderation tools, but do have time for this.

Its free, open source software folks. Its fine to not be happy about a projects direction, but these comments are really treading the "I payed them $0 and I demand my moneys worth!" line.

He spent 4 months working on another free, open source project bexause he wanted to. That's perfectly fair on his part. Working for $0 on things you want to work on is a sane and basic right we all have. The work may even help lemmy in an as yet unknown way.

You are as equally free as the lemmy dev to work on moderation tools. The fact that you have put in the same amount of work as the dev should tamp down the criticism a ways.

Now if you donate to the lemmy devs directly, fire away. If you want to contribute directly, Rust is an excellent programming language that fits very well with the solarpunk ethos. It's incredibly efficient, so code uses less power than alternates, it's memory safe, so it by default eliminates 75% of the most common computer bugs, leading to safety, stability and reliability of the products it runs on, and its community is enthusiastic, which should ensure its longevity for decades to come. Learning it might be a good avenue if you want to help lemmy.

Something something could, something something should. Centralized Wikipedia is not a problem in need of a solution.

Says you. The dev disagreed and did the work. Even if hes wrong, it's good that he tried to bring change, to give people options.

Isn't changing things and trying to help the world what solarpunk is about?
