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
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?
