I guess loops will have good chances to succeed. It's seen as a 'bereal' social network alternatives, the people I showed it were surprised it contains content from real people. If it spreads thanks to young developers and their friends and circles, it might disrupt the "boring game". Vine is back

Looks like the fundraiser is going well. Looks like he is pulling in more money than is split between the Lemmy devs, which will make a big difference - the Fediverse needs full-time devs and so this crowd-funding is key and, hopefully, demonstrates a new funding route for others.

With previous dramas he has caused, I'd really want to see him delegating more, perhaps even create a group to oversee projects.

Judging by the state of his apps, could he pay someone to mentor him while he learns the basics of app development? I’m not saying it’s easy but he seems intent on learning as he goes on his closed source project which due to the buggy state of it, makes the rest of the fediverse look like a bunch amateur software developer hacks to the influx of millions of new users.
