Lemmy's Image Problem
wedistribute.org
The popular Reddit alternative's user count has grown a lot over the past year. One problem, though: users and admins can't delete images.

Highlighting the recent report of users and admins being unable to delete images, and how Trust & Safety tooling is currently lacking.

    Wow, when are you going to realize that you work for your users?

    This isn't "one user" being "so demanding". Its a trend. Read what others have said. Learn from your mistakes. Your community of instance admins are pissed because you're constantly throwing them under the bus. And, yes, your moderation tools are crap. Thats objective.

    And 2000€ per month is a ton of money. Most open source devs get nothing. Stop being so ungrateful and disrespectful to the community that you work for.

      2000€ is rent for a 1 bedroom apartment lol.

      Also this is not reddit. If you don't like something, you can change it yourself. That's how open source works.

        Also big wonder-who-thats-for vibes lol. Telling others to stop being ungrateful and disrespectful, while being ungrateful and disrespectful themselves.

          Yea takes an impressive level of self awareness to go from "you work for us" to "no you don't deserve more money" to "why arent you personally catering to me more" in that amount of time

      Fuck off lol you do it then if it's such a trivial task.

      "Ungrateful" yea they should be super grateful for making a little over 10 bucks an hour to listen to this kind of self important bullshit.

      Wow, when are you going to realize that you work for your users?

      Do you pay their salary and have an employment contract with the developers of Lemmy? If not, they do not work for you.

      And 2000€ per month is a ton of money. Most open source devs get nothing. Stop being so ungrateful and disrespectful to the community that you work for.

      This is not a typical open source side project. The developers work full time on it, it's basically their job. That 2000 Euros is their monthly gross salary. Average monthly salary in France is 2340 euros net as of 2022. The developers of Lemmy are earning well below average.

      I love lemmy, having been here since the very earliest hexbear days. In my view, the devs are doing the best they can. They're a tiny team surviving on grants, trying to produce software that the users, for some reason, expect to have feature parity with reddit, a large corporation with a large paid dev team. It's weird to say the least.

      My understanding is that nutomic and dessalines survive solely on that 4000 euros per month, because all of their time goes to lemmy. How do you want them to survive? They need to eat and pay rent, you know. The real world exists and they're humans in it, needing food and sleep and shelter.

      It seems to me you want magic. You don't want the lemmy devs to be humans, you want them to be magic coder gods who are infinitely patient, with boundless time and energy. But that's completely unrealistic, you surely must see that, right?
