to rot in jail for the rest of their existence

Because later on, if they were found to be actually innocent - the person rotting in jail can be released and compensated (to whatever extent false imprisonment can be compensated).

If they were executed, it’s over. The injustice can’t be remediated in any way.

If I recall correctly, in that recording of the meeting that was on reddit (the one after Madison left) already mentioned third party HR.

I found out about Lemmy BECAUSE of Sync

I had heard of lemmy in the days before the reddit blackout, but only when ljdawson said he was considering building sync for lemmy, did I actually join up.

I tried other clients before sync was actually out, and voyager is pretty good - but sync feels like home.

Reddit had considerably more users when Sync was created- so smaller amount per person over larger user base would pay for the bill.

With Lemmy, user base isn’t there yet to create that same economies of scale - so to pay for the dev’s time - each person would need to pay a larger amount.

It’s good to be home.
