Thumb-Key — A flick keyboard for mobile phones; a FOSS alternative to MessagEase created by Lemmy's own Dessalines. It's not perfect, neither was MessagEase, but for what it is it's pretty damn good and definitely beats using a mobile QWERTY keyboard.
Ibis — A federated wiki created by Lemmy's own Nutomic. It's currently pretty barebones with little activity, but I'd like to see more interest in the project so that it can grow and improve. I think it has a lot of potential.

Is his other software as shitty as lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's a bit mean, I think Lemmy is pretty good all things considered.

I mean it's a massive legal risk to instance admins. Its not shitty due to not enough resources. Its shitty because they intentionally focus on stupid features and ignore (and scold) their community of users when they ask them to work on actually important bugs

Such as when?

Just search the github issues for gdpr. There's loads of them.

It's just derivatives of one issue about exporting and deleting data

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

There's like 8 issues about separate bugs where users get stuck in a situation where they can't delete their data. That is a massive violation of gdpr with horrible legal and financial penalties.

See how long they've been open?
