Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

That's a kind of odd situation then.
Per beehaw, they are willing to pay a bounty to get things they want fixed/deved. I read that from one of the admin posts, can't remember if it's the first one linked in the post or second.
If lemmy has effectively said "go dev it" why hasn't beehaw paid developers to handle the requests?
Maybe my radar is off but something seems a little weird between those two statements
Because Beehaw is evaluating whether doing so is a good idea or not, and a lot of that goes into whether Beehaw believes that Lemmy is a platform that can continue to fit its needs. So Beehaw is evaluating several options:
Based on what was written, Beehaw admins seem to be leaning towards option 3 given the current quality of the existing code and lack of confidence in Lemmy devs.
And this kind of high level concept development is typical of organizations when choosing to spend money. It isn't just a choice between spending money to fund development or not.
I appreciate the breakdown.
Definitely helps to contextualize things a bit but I'm still left wondering if option 3 actually helps drive beehaw's end goal.
The way I first read it suggested to me that they were going to code something from scratch which I'd argue takes time away from building a community.
But rereading it, you might be meaning building something from new on a different tech stack. Which would make much more sense.
Does Beehaw have the experience and money needed to develop a new platform?
