jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Their claims regarding privacy are really not surprising, it's very on-brand for the developer's ideology to eliminate transparency for users in the platform while keeping everything stored and federated in the back end for the ruling elite, which if and when they decide to, become the arbiters of who can and won't see it. They haven't even bothered to provide any form of recourse to contest it, you basically have to go looking for people yourself. At least until mod member lists are made private too.

I fully agree with their decision, Lemmy is transient at best. ~~They could still include Mbin, but why include a loaded deck?~~ Actually, decided to check, yep, they did, kudos to them, they really did think it through.


Downvote all you want, still ain't gonna change that jointhefediverse.net decision (based as fuck) ๐Ÿ˜‚

I have no idea what you're even trying to say.

I have no idea why that would be surprising or I should care.
