Oh no i’m so offended 😱😱😱

Seems like a lot of effort, and then people will still keep complaining and demand more.

And would happily donate to them if they needed it.

So you are not donating anyway? It seems to me like there is a vocal minority of users who make any type of excuse for the fact that they are unwilling to donate. Instead of being honest about that, you demand from us to make more and more changes, which will piss off other users and will likely not lead to any actual increase in donations.

So you would be fine if lemmy.ml was run exactly like it is now, but without Dessalines or me taking direct actions as admins?

I am not a tankie and reject that label.

The donation amount has increased a lot after this call for donations. Previously it was only 1000 Euro per month for each of us. With my skills I could easily earn 8000 Euro per month or more working for a company in the United States.

Thanks for your support!

Dont call me tankie, its offensive.

None of the admin work on lemmy.ml is paid, its all volunteer based.

I dont want anything bad to happen to you or your family, and you have every right to live in peace in your homecountry. It is unfortunate that you have to live through that. Best of luck!

Or it never happened in the first place.

lemmy.ml hosting is only financed by donations via Opencollective. All other donations go exclusively to developer salaries.

I am not a tankie and its annoying to be called like that all the time.

Thanks!

Not true, lemmy.ml is only funded by donations via Opencollective. All other donation platforms go exclusively to developer salaries.

And what happens if this separate admin team makes decisions which users disagree with? The same debate starts all over again?

Thank you for being reasonable about this.

We have various test servers, but these are not enough to catch all the potential problems in a new release. Lemmy is very complex software, and a minor change can cause performance problems in an sql query and cause downtime for instances. Such problems are impossible to catch on test servers, at least with our very limited resources.
