"moderation duties" and "regular participants" in a forum system have such different use cases, it makes no sense to try to make it work with the software itself.

It would be better/faster/easier to simply build a separate tool that can be useful for moderators, instead of trying to shoehorn it in the existing API. But I don't really think that this is something that really bothers people enough, given that last time I asked if I could get 20 people interested to sponsor the development of the moderation tool, and to this day only one person showed up.

If you want it to be "free to most users", the cost of data storage and IO will completely dominate over the cost of CPU.

There are plenty of good arguments to prefer Rust over python for a distributed application, but "language efficiency" is not one of them.

Anyway, if you are biased in favor of Rust and want a decent argument to justify it, I will let you use 'It's easier to compile Rust to WASM and have the application run on the browser, while compiling python in a cross-platform way is a nightmare', free of charge.

Generally, because I think all server-centric AP software is broken and I want to see a client-first application to browse the social web.

Particularly in relation to piefed: it seems to be focused on the exact opposite (giving more power to the server admins) and it takes a good page of social engineering / "nudge theory" principles to guide its design. Much like Mastodon, it seems to be strongly opinionated about how people should behave and it kinda gives me an icky feeling about its culture.

You missed the last paragraph, didn't you?

I don't know about you, but I don't think we should accept to be working for less or to accept a lower standard of living just because so many people have it worse.

As long as your work is:

• honest
• ethical
• providing real value to whoever is paying for it
• not pushing externalities for others

Then "what is normal" should have no bearing in this.

One more reason to be asking for help from the community and to be doing everything in the open.

He doesn't need to know everything. No one is expecting him to deliver flawless software. But I'd have place more trust on someone that works in the open than someone who keeps saying "next week!" out of fear of being judged by the initial quality of their software.

I want to support the guy, but damn does he like to overpromise and underdeliver...

We've been hearing about Loops being open sourced (which would imply the ability to be federated) for months already. Just publish the thing and let the community help, @dansup@mastodon.social !

Lemmy account age and Github experience are absolute orthogonal data points, how is that even something to be brought as an argument?

If you want to suggest features or improvements, please take a look at the Github repository.

Once upon a time, a "meaningful wage" was something that would allow you to raise a family of 4 while living a comfortable middle class standard of living.

57k€ gross salary in Berlin amounts to ~3360€ per month net income. Rent alone will eat 30-40% of that.

You can survive on that salary, which is more than most people are managing to do nowadays. But to think that someone with such specialized competency should expect a "not bad" salary shows a pretty sad state of affairs.

57k€ for someone with Rust experience?!

Maybe that "Rewriting things in Rust is just to get rid of old people that can command high salaries" LinkedIn Lunatic was right after all...

Listen to Bernie:

You were faster than my edit.

What we can do is try go get popular communities to other instances.

I am particularly more interested in getting people aware of Fediverser because of the long tail of niche interests than the "popular" communities, and I am not that interested in arguing over whether a community should be in the largest instance or second or the 8th.
