Lemmy was made by patriotic Americans?
These people, of all people, should understand the difference between the software and an instance.
The main dev behind Lemmy is absolutely a problem.
That guy's server is a broken stair.
Lemmy itself is fine.
That feels like complaints about lemmy.ml specifically more than Lemmy as a software. There's a few instances that defederate lemmy.ml out there.
They can do whatever shit they want with their instance and believe whatever they want. The software they make provably doesn't have any more biases than any other software. As long as that's the case, I'm fine.

How much effort do you think Meta, Twitter, and Reddit put into getting open social media people to fight against themselves?

Lemmy was removed due to:
- reports of how the developers handle certain types of content (post removed, view an incomplete archive)
- the behavior of its creator
- how the sotware itself handles users' privacy.
All valid concerns.
Point 1 and 2 really need to be addressed.
It would be so much better if lemmy wasn't developed by genocide white-washing tankies.

I hate it when people try to gatekeep like this. I don't need to be handheld. If there's a Fediverse alternative to something and it mostly works, it should be on the website. Anything less is not useful at best.
Edit: I say this as someone who has historically criticized the behavior of the devs as well as multiple Lemmy communities BTW.
I mean the person maintaining this site just chose to not recommend it themself based on valid concerns. Nothing is stopping you from looking into lemmy and using it anyways.

To me the first one is an instance problem (ml, hexbear?), and not a lemmy problem. It has looked like they've been trying to separate the two as much as possible.

The linked post given on the second point is a bit flimsy. It's basically saying that if you use evidence published by a person with shitty views, you must have them too. To me, that's absurd as claiming that referencing FBI statistics makes someone a federal agent.

Itβs just a random person that registered a domain. Be the change you want to see and make your own?

Nutomic and Dessalines may be tankies, but they're our tankies
Not wrong lol. I dislike their behavior but still contribute code to lemmy.
Same, I am very opposed to their views, but they make this platform, so I respect them as FOSS developers

Valid concern imo, Dev's are just dickheads
No, they aren't.
It's almost certainly because of the tankie factory that is .ml and the fact that it's admins are all hard core tankies (including the main dev! And ofc the whole infamous Nutomic transphobe incident)
Coupled with the fact that a few of the biggest communities are on .ml does not bode well.
That's why I keep calling for a general boycott against posting content or comments on .ml communities.
.ml doesn't want growth, they want a tankie echo chamber, if anybody wants to actually see Lemmy grow at a healthy pace it starts with shuning the hostile tankies and their instances.
I've said it before, but I joined this instance when Reddit closed the api and the only time I see "tankie" stuff is when someone mentions how rampant it is on this instance, but not on the instance itself. I guess I subscribe to non-tankie content (all across the fediverse and not only this instance).

It has mbin and piefed on the list, so itβs not harming the network at all. If anything itβs more healthy with more platforms rather than just ml and world. Itβs one site directing people to the fedi, Iβm not butthurt about it
