Mods are developed by fans in their free time, like the original Counter-Strike. To play it you had to own the original game and could get the mod for free. In contrast games like Half-Life are developed by a company with full-time employees, and sold for money.

Of course Counter-Strike hasn’t been a mod for a long time now. Valve took it over and turned it into a full game.

It looks like Lemmy itself is not fully translated into your language yet:

Working on Lemmy, instead of selling my soul to a company.

That comment is deleted, did you actually read it? If you check the modlog you will see that I didnt defend CSAM at all, but was only defending another user. Just to make it clear for you, I am against pedophilia. Its honestly impressive, you dont know me at all you try to paint me as some kind of evil supervillain over a few misinterpreted comments.

We are currently finishing to implement the last feature community post tags. Once that is done there is still some cleanup and bug fixing to do. Soon after that we will publish the first beta version of 1.0 (likely in February), and ask app devs to start implementing the new API v4. How long the beta phase lasts is hard to say, it depends how many problems pop up.

Most of these will also be available in Lemmy 1.0 soon!
