No matter how it plays out this is a fucking hero response.

It's a website that's linked in the post.

I think it's just too early for that level of formality. Basically they're swamped just actually executing changes versus the type of planning you're talking about. Maybe you can offer to help them in some way with that?

None of this should come across as argumentative or being short. My understanding is it's just two people so I still think this isn't a time to have ideas. Shoot them a message on GitHub or whatever community they have set up for feedback and help build the ranks to get them to help they need.. ;)

Sincere thanks for your drive help contribute!

I agree with you.

The future is going to be different than one monolithic website and I think ultimately everyone just needs to relax for 6 months or a year and just get a feel for how all of this settles over time.

Part of the federated future is that we are going to lose content from time to time. Maybe someday someone solves that but this is what a link aggregation ecosystem with no central leadership looks like, and that's ok.

As in any project the few loud voices can be the most damaging. Please isolate yourself from that and understand the quiet majority greatly appreciates what your doing and recognizes the pressure you probably feel lately!

What donation method gets the most of the funds to you guys? Crypto?

I just want as much of it going to you as able if I choose a recurring monthly donation.

Thank you SO MUCH for the work you're doing to help us all!

It is generally present in the website interface I've noticed.

Just my opinion but that ease of use will come in time. The more the learning curve exists the more we will get the power users that made Reddit special and the more Lemmy will stay special.

I don't want the Reddit of today on Lemmy. I want the Reddit 10 years ago when there was a fraction of the users on it.

We are doomed to ultimately have the same struggles that read it ended up with in terms of content and users but we can keep it held off as long as possible.

Where we disagree is that I believe the level of knowledge needed to form that community is higher than you're giving credit but time will tell! ;)
