That's a real shame, and a huge loss.

Friendly reminder that the only way lemmy can be successful is if we create a culture that is enjoyable to be a part of. It sounds like his time here was not so positive, and that's deeply saddening.

I wish him the best with his future endeavors

Much more important than the enjoyable culture is the material aspect - how much work each developer has to do. Nice vibes help delay burnout but rarely eliminate it. Or they let it happen with a smile on the face.

Pay the developers instead, so they can reduce hours worked elsewhere, if you can. Or contribute code, if you can. This isn't aimed at you personally, but anyone reading. I can't contribute code but I can pay so I do that.

That's incredibly important too! I think people would be hesitant to work for even decent donations if people are assholes, but you're 100% right. I guess it really comes down to appreciating the people around you

You should appreciate the humans that create this social space by being here and being social, and appreciate the people who create this social space by building the space itself

Thank you for making that point, people being paid makes a huge difference.

The developer in question specifically declined remuneration - he enjoyed his day job and did not want to quit it, and just was happy to share both his code (Tesseract) and instance (dubvee.org) with anyone, completely free of charge.

https://dubvee.org/about#donations :

I built Tesseract in my spare time as a hobby, learning excercise for Svelte, and to address my own personal annoyances with Lemmy and other Lemmy UIs. That said, I do not feel the need to accept donations for its development.

However, if you really want to donate, please consider donating to one of the following:

Xylight: They are the author of Photon from which Tesseract was forked who also did a lot of the heavy lifting for much of the core. While I've replaced a lot of it, none of my work would have been possible without theirs.

Thank you for that additional information!
