Word. The large instances are well funded at the moment. I think the funding is lacking on the developer side. Subscribe if you can. I have. :)

Frankly, given the conflicting priorities and attitudes of the two primary Lemmy devs compared to the needs of instance admins, I’d rather the better-funded instances pooled some of their excess and funded an independent contributor to work on mod tools, GDPR issues, and other things that operators are concerned about that have been backburnered by the current devs.

Wasn’t there some guy who wanted a total of 8 dollars to fix the GDPR issue and they didn’t get funded? Something tells me the operators aren’t too concerned
