Well shit I didn't expect this to be relevant again so quickly

You won't see this, but... the Lemmy devs are Marxists, not right-wingers. Lemmygrad is definitely Marxist (Leninist). Lemmy.ml is left-wingers of all types.

This sort of thing makes me more convinced than ever that socialists need a professional, cadre-oriented approach to their work. Relying on volunteers for everything is a recipe for burnout and failure.

Just to clarify…is /showerthoughts just a place to post an opinion?

Last I heard, he had stepped down as a developer.

The Lemmy mobile app is excellent. I never feel a need to download an app to browse on mobile.

They need massive amounts of data. There is simply no way to manually curate data on that scale, short of hiring like a million people. It’s very likely that they do use some sort of automated filtering to curate the data though.

If we can throw tens of millions of soldiers into meat grinders for wars, then I think hiring a few million people to curate data is table stakes by comparison.

I'd rather keep the different mediums separate. I have fundamentally different expectations of a medium like Lemmy, which is async, and Matrix, which is synchronous.
