A community dedicated to people who have issues with the Lemmy Devs and would like to reduce Lemmy's footprint on the Fediverse. This is a community about canceling Lemmy and convincing server Admins to move to Piefed or Mbin even if there will be sacrifices and setbacks from doing so.

Post here to this community if you wish to discuss alternatives to Lemmy such as piefed or mbin. Also post here if you'd like to see specific admins migrate their instances over to piefed from Lemmy. If you'd like to complain about the Lemmy devs, lack of features in Lemmy, or Lemmy Devs policy that's fine too. Really this is a place about getting away from Lemmy.

Is this about grievances with Lemmy, just trying to find the ideal forum in the Fediverse or both?

Both really. Lemmy is incredibly lacking in feaures, and also their developers hold problematic views which both affect the instance they host and also their development goals.

I didn't know that. What are the problematic views and development goals?

Also, how would you recommend taking down Lemmy in a way that's good for the Fediverse and not unintentionally a gift to corporate media? I hope this comes across as inquisitive rather than defensive. I genuinely want to know what that kind of transition would look like in a successful situation.

The Devs are Tankies and one of them is a transphobe. Their development goals are problematic as they often refuse to or just don't care to implement feaures needed for effective moderation which other platforms like Piefed already have.

Getting people to move on to piefed and also migrate instances is the best way to help fix the problem of dependance with Lemmy. Once more people are using Piefed or mbin the problems with Lemmy's development and leadership will be less impactful.

The staff behind your Lemmy instance just launched a Piefed one: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/
