Assuming the community survives, we now have a crushing technical debt on our hands. The amount of institutional knowledge about the code which keeps this site running that has been lost over the past few hours cannot be overstated. None of the contributors can be blamed though. They were all volunteers, and they contributed a superhuman effort into putting this infrastructure together and constantly tweaking it to serve the needs of this community. We really are at a crossroads here.
We don't hate you. We may disagree with some of the decisions you've made, but we truly appreciate everything you and the rest of the team have done for this community. :Care-Comrade:
That’s totally understandable. Please know, however that of the ~14000 users on this site, the vast majority value you and the work you do. You aren’t building this site // didn’t build this site for people that hate you, because the majority of the people on this site are yr comrades, and that’s coming from someone that bitches about you guys in user union constantly.
Thanks for what you’ve done. Even if you aren’t able to keep it up you’ve already done something great. Kind of rambling but just wanted you to know that you’re appreciated.

Real adeptus mechanicus hours here
Is there a dev schism?
No, we're just tired.
This more than anything.
:Care-Comrade:
Sorry for commenting on this “old” post. But is there any easy way to get involved in helping this site stay afloat?
Outside of donating that is. I have lots of time, money not so much
Not really a schism as much as burnout.
It's very hard to build things for people who hate you.
i don't hate you. :heart-sickle:
