IIRC, PF-dev Rimu recently explained exactly why he was trialing such limits in a recent software update post. I.e., to create a more efficient internal & external software / HW backbone, for us users, AFAIK. Based on network / host / server loads etc, as I read the updates.
But yeah… the amount of recent negative reaction so far upon that seems… weirdly outsized?
(like, WTF?)
Like-- who the heck comes here exhausted upon corporate social media, and expects a free, open-source community of devs not to tinker with the road-posts and such…?
Pardon my puzzlement here, but I’m a happy PF contributor, and love @PugJesus@piefed.social. Both the dev here and PJ are friends of a sort, and some people I will always try to support.
That’s not a communication problem.
He nearly faced burn out. So he set his own boundary and communication pipeline so we can focus on Piefed developpement instead on dealing on fedidrama.
I also do the same, it gives us a peace of mind. I just post and move elsewhere with my french mod team because it is much more chill than on the threadiverse.
It’s literally a communication issue, and you are having another one right here. At best. I’m well aware of the drama rimu kept getting themselves into. That isn’t what were talking about. What were talking about, is a simple blog or community to post on new features and additions. And then civil discussions and feedback.
It’s your project, you all can run it as you see fit. And the rest of us are free to fork it or use something else. Something that respects the users more. I’d like to see piefed succeed. I thought you all were interested in that too. But you seem committed to not understanding why/how you’re impacting and even running off some of your most active users and their contributions. Or the problem with that.
