I think we're talking about different posts, here is the one I'm talking about: lemm.ee/post/63041344

Because a couple weeks ago, the lemm.ee crew made a post asking for donations and their comment section immediately went dumpster fire mode. Not saying they can't ask for donations, but I can imagine its very problematic considering that the lead developers themselves are very hateful, transphobic and have questionable political opinions.

You cannot possibly convice me that didn't somehow influence this decision to shutdown the instance. And if lemmy doesn't find a way to keep that stuff down we're def gonna see more instances shutting down.

Very unfortunate, lemm.ee had a real promise of being a flagship lemmy instance.

Bit of an off topic question though, as someone who really has no knowledge on software development, what are the chances lemmy as a whole could fork?

I wasn't around back then, but people like Oscar Gandy and Dan Schiller were open critics of personal data and centralization. Maybe that gives you a good lead.

This made me lol, I know several people IRL who talk like this.

I think you've got issues my friend. Time to touch some grass.

 

One of my all time favorites from the GOAT.
