  • This thread has been reported to us. I’ve temporarily made the decision to keep it (other mods; feel free to override). While the question could have been phrased a hell of a lot better (“what are your favourite bands that people don’t get the real meaning of?”), its a valid question and doesn’t quite fall into the “offensive” rule.

    Community: please stay civil. The fact that a song can be political does not mean it is worth debating if it’s politics are correct. If discussion significantly devolves into personal attacks, bans will be issued regardless of partisanship.
















  • If the developers do not distribute donations among all contributors

    I understand completely. I’ve received a total of 400$ or so from open source bounties and other rewards, and would love to see a similar model in many more projects, including lemmy… and yet, please bear in mind that lemmy’s monthly income is currently only around 700 dollars (and that’s increased in the past couple months), excluding nlnet funding. The top two contributors have each added around 40 times more lines then the third to the project. Totaling all 140 independent contributors, they still fall more than 5x short of either of the main developers. My takeaway is that this site needs more funding.
