PSA: You can't delete photos uploaded to Lemmy. So don't (accidentally) upload a nude

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
For context, there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to lemmy admin stuff especially in the matrix channels. There is a significant frustration and lack of confidence in the lemmy developers at this point. Even those who try to contribute to the project get eventually feeling pushed out.
Based on what I've seen on the public facing part of the developer side, I get the feeling this isn't the kind of group that can build the kind of organization required to make this sustainable in the long run.
I'm just waiting for when Beehaw releases that they've given up on Lemmy and have created a new tech stack.
It's open source. We don't have to depend on the original developers.
If it gets too bad, someone can just make a fork.
Afaik people are just impatient with the developers and have different short term goals.
I mention a new tech stack because Beehaw brought it up as an option and a lot of people have commented on the difficulty of development in this environment.
That'd be disappointing. Rust seems like a great foundation.
The fact that I know you're referring to the programming language called "Rust" doesn't make this sentence any less funny.
It could still be rust. Code is always the easy part. Design and organization and funding are hard
