I just found an old post from reddit of a guy who suggested people to come here in another post saying he was wrong about lemmy and the lemmy devs are bad ? - eviltoast

I have a lemmy.ml account and i didn’t know that they were bad . I created this account after seeing that post .( I am not into politics as you can see if you visited the account i have put in my bio ) so is that true ?

-Ca. someone explain like what are the lemmy devs political stance ?

-Is lemmy as whole affected by it because i think the two main guys who hold all the cards are the ones with these opinions ,like do they have any control on lemmy as whole in anyway ? Or just the instance ?( I know if they are really bad we can fork lemmy)?

-Is feddit.ch good in these aspects ?

-Are they even really bad or do everyone have different opinions ? The things i consider bad and not polical stance are : for instance i just don’t like trump because he is against t lgbt and being racist etc. Which are geniunly bad in my opinion and not just difference in opinions .

  • i know this is more than one question but please answer as much as i can and when talking politics talk like you are explainining politics to a five year old .

  • If this isn’t the right sub i apologise please don’t just down voat me to hell atleast explain where i should move it and i will do that

  • Thanks in advance will read each and every reply and updoot and reply as much as i can .

EDIT : And if they are that bad why aren’t anyone forking it ? It’s not like they are carrying the whole thing . Everyone is contributing .

  • Also if the dev’s want to explain their sides i would like to hear it .

    I find this argument unproductive, though.

    It’s open source. If you don’t like the people making it, make your own. Otherwise, what’s the alternative? Stick with the shitty corporate internet? I don’t love Tankies, but I think anarcho-capitalists like Musk are definitely worse.

    Let’s grow Lemmy, and hopefully the politics of a few early developers won’t matter in the long run.

      I mean, I’m still here. I agree. Even with my concerns, I still think its in a better place than most of the competition. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth acknowledging the current problems, and the risks it may carry going forward. It’s better to be aware and vigilant so action can be taken early if needed.

      You’re right when it comes to the source code, and of course the protocol, but then it will be quite hard to fork both and then get a new community running on top of that.
