you missed the step where after development slows down, there are hundreds of forks of the project created making it too fragmented to be stable, again resulting in death.
beehaw.org – a lemmy instance specifically geared toward quality discussion and keeping everybody nice to each other – has basically been told by Lemmy devs that the moderation tools they want and need just aren’t in the roadmap, and they’ll need to fork and develop their own version.
That’s an incredibly disheartening attitude.
Aren’t most Fediverse services at Infancy? It still feels like very early days.
It’s spelled “Infanty”, did you even read the infographic?
My brain refused to let me use the term, even if I suppose it means a bit like an infant. Possibly.
I think the big challenge right now is sustaining growth. I don’t think many reddit refugees are paying for their fediverse services.
I support dessalines on Patreon, but I don’t really know what else I should be doing. I think that folks who want to run these services need to figure out how to charge money for it, or they won’t be able to buy infrastructure or network bandwidth.
