    It’s honestly bonkers to have a community hosted on Lemmy this hostile to Lemmy as software and the developers.

      Is this bait? There is hardly any hostility here towards the software and the Lemmy devs want to push the world towards being an authoritarian hellscape. If anything they dont get enough shit.

          The user has been on this platform since 2020, long before .world existed and .dbzer0 was a twinkle in dbzer0’s eye. Yes, the user chooses to stay on the instance that gets updated first and stays federated with all of .world, PieFed, and also the lifeboat chapo community that did and has continued to produce the funniest leftist content on the platform.

          I’ve been in this comm for years. It’s the number one organizing spot for anti-lemmy developers to push their alternatives. There was a Java one before PieFed took off. And when you look under the surface, the reasons these are developed are pretty much always because anti-communism.

          You see it’s actually people like y’all that scream “witch” at users, accuse them of interacting with bad faith, and spread FUD in this platform.

        This comm is often full of comments pushing lemmy alternatives, with PieFed being the new frontrunner.

        You’d think the post here would include Lemmy, which I believe is still the most active platform

            People on Lemmy don’t really need to be told about most of these. What’s your point? You and I both know this image was made for people outside Lemmy. In fact, it was updated to remove Lemmy

            I understand, but most of us are here from the efforts of all those who built Lemmy and it was deliberately left off here as an alternative

              Isn’t that because people are canceling it for some reason? I haven’t kept up with it enough to form an opinion, but I understand a lot of people want to ditch the project over something they don’t like about the dev(s).

          Demonstrably true. Try saying anything contrary to a tankie talking point on .ml and see how long before you get banned. May I suggest “Russia was wrong for invading Ukraine” for starters, or “China committed unjustifiable atrocities against peaceful protestors”.

            You’re replying to one of the Lemmy devs. Hearing them say it’s not true when they literally run .ml as a tankie community is hilarious.
