Frustration with Lemmy Devs' Lack of User Feedback Consideration (discuss.online)

Greetings Lemmy community,

I wanted to express my frustration with the Lemmy developers for consistently closing my reported issues as "not planned" without involving the community in the decision-making process. It appears that the devs prioritize their own interests, such as developing Android thumb keyboard apps ([email protected]), over listening to user feedback and addressing community priorities.

Given this approach, I have decided that I will not be contributing to this project in any capacity. It is disheartening to see a lack of consideration for user input and a focus on personal projects rather than community needs.

For reference, you can view the list of my reported issues on GitHub for Lemmy here:

  • Lemmy Backend Issues: Link
  • Lemmy UI Issues: Link

Fortunately, there are still opportunities for me to contribute to projects like SubLinks and PieFed, where developers are more open to community input compared to the Lemmy platform.

Thank you for your attention, but I regret to say that I will not be engaging further with this project due to the lack of user-centric development practices.

I tried to read you in goofld faith but the moment you basically said the dev shouldn't be able to have a side project, or a life for that matter, because they should be working for you to get the feature you want is unforgivable. It is libre software, you are free to contribute and add it yourself. Value others' work, you entitled fuck.
