Lemmy Project Priorities Observations
I've raised my voice loudly on meta communities, github, and created new [email protected] and [email protected] communities.
I feel like the performance problems are being ignored for over 30 days when there are a half-dozen solutions that could be coded in 5 to 10 hours of labor by one person.
I've been developing client/server messaging apps professionally since 1984, and I firmly believe that Lemmy is currently suffering from a lack of testing by the developers and lack of concern for data loss. A basic e-mail MTA in 1993 would send a "did not deliver" message back to message sender, but Lemmy just drops delivery and there is no mention of this in the release notes//introduction on GitHub. I also find that the Lemmy developers do not like to "eat their own dog food" and actually use Lemmy's communities to discuss the ongoing development and priorities of Lemmy coding. They are not testing the code and sampling the data very much, and I am posting here, using Lemmy code, as part of my personal testing! I spent over 100 hours in June 2023 testing Lemmy technical problems, especially with performance and lost data delivery.
I'll toss it into this echo chamber.

Hello. I can help you try to understand, perhaps I can rephrase it. I have brain damage and my mental health is not that great, communication is a constant struggle for me.
This is sharing of open thoughts... I don't have any faith in these words being something others are seeking out. It's exactly the kind of navel-gazing a lot of people find extremely repulsive. Where I'm living, people find the words of Donald Trump irresistible and repeatable, up to and including every other member of my family. I have no doubts that my perspective on what images and patterns of words people desire is way out from what many are seeking. I know well I'm in an echo chamber...
Thanks for your detailed answer, it makes it a lot easier to understand.
I'm sorry about your mental health issues. Isn't it strange that we are living in such developed countries and yet we struggle to live. People can read and write and yet follow a so called strongman.
Also sorry about your brain damage. Based on your texts here I can't say I've noticed any of your communication issues. You seem reflective, kind, intelligent and I assume caring because you take care of the instance.
About the Trumpets, I must say here in the Netherlands we have something like that too, especially in the conservative area I live in. People here hang the flag upside down. I'm not a nationalist by any stretch but I find that to be rather distasteful. Arguments against climate change that are cherry picked and sensationalist and lacking in nuance. A dislike for foreigners, who do a lot of the actual work around here, and even a dislike for refugees. I'm told regularly that they are the real cause of problems such as the housing crisis.
Well personally I like to argue for solidarity, especially solidarity through reason. I mean if someone chooses to be hateful or selfish that is their choice, but let's at least have the same facts in front of us. And also I like to be active in the areas I care about. For example I'm trying to connect refugees to the wider community by allowing them to exhibit their art.
You know plenty of trumpets & co just scapegoat and complain because it is easy. But it's a lot harder to build something I think, and more impactful than it might seem at times.
I hope you also feel you're working on something positive that you believe in by making Beehaw possible. It's a well moderated safe space for people like me, and I enjoy being here and letting my guard down. So thanks for that!
have a good weekend
