Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

lemmy has a lot of questionable design decisions, and the justifications I’ve seen for them on GitHub have very frequently been disappointing
on the other hand, it’s a lot easier for me to understand and modify lemmy’s rust-based stack than it is for me to comprehend the PHP kbin is written in, which is a big part of why this instance ended up with lemmy
with that said, holy fuck am I looking forward to contributing to a lemmy fork with better development priorities one of these days
i'd love to take a peek at a "glitch-soc for lemmy" but not that many people seem keen enough to fork and take on the responsibility of maintaining the jank.
that said i know of at least 2 instance specific forks (pawb.social's and programming.dev's), yet neither of them seem to have produced anything worthwhile just yet.
I’m in a similar boat. ours is also a minor instance-specific fork, though trying to get our changes upstreamed is on my todo list (as are more changes — it’s kind of amazing how threadbare lemmy’s mod tools are, when a lot of them wouldn’t even be hard to implement)
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !pangora@programming.dev
