Fediverse

Valid concern imo, Dev's are just dickheads

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.

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.

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

Well they still promote mbin and piefed, which works "plug and play" with the lemmy network, so it's not like they don't want to have user on the lemmyverse. So it's not that bad, and if it can direct people out of the overcrowded .world and sometimes borderline .ml it's great for the whole network.

That said, I don't think that but Lemmy devs are pro China really a good reason to not use lemmy.

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.

Nutomic and Dessalines may be tankies, but they're our tankies
