    Inflicting lawyers on an open source project is a great way to drive off the developers.

    If I hear Lemmy has a GDPR problem I assume it’s lawyer BS only European instance admins have to worry about.

    If I hear Lemmy has bugs in basic CRUD functionality, that’s a real issue.

        Yet GDPR requires if you operate anywhere but allow European citizens to register, you have to be GDPR compliant as well, or risk being blocked by an entire continent.

      If I hear Lemmy has bugs in basic CRUD functionality, that’s a real issue.

      Coincidentally I saw bug reports by that person and another person earlier that day (before the blog post was published), including one opened months ago with absolutely no reaction at all of even acknowledging that this is even an issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3973

      I’ve heard from time to time that Lemmy developers can be difficult to work with (I never worked with them, so I make it clear that this is hearsay) but I have the suspicion that there is some merit to that.
