No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.
I’m hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don’t love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren’t out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.
As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.
Do you mean just Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole? Cause I hear some complaints about the ethics of the Lemmy creators and some people are switching to kbin which is still in the fediverse. So I can see people jumping ship to kbin but I already made my Lemmy account and don’t really care to switch at the moment. I’m not entirely sure what the situation with Lemmy creators is anyways
Some people are crying because one of the devs is a commie.
Could you elaborate? I’m curious as to what that whole situation is about?
Before Lemmy blew up in popularity the majority of its users were commies/tankies and that applies for the devs too. It seems they sympathize with communist ideologies like maoism and other ones, and they deny the ujghur genocide. Honestly I’m open to communicate about why did they chose communism as their preferred ideology, but It’s a bit hard for me to be neutral since my people were executed and beaten down our revolt against the commie government, and they fucked up the general hungarian psyche which still heavily haunts the political space here. (1956 Hungarian revolution)
Well unless their ideology is baked into the programming I’m not sure why it would matter. It certainly doesn’t matter to me.
I feel the same. I can just block instances or people if I don’t like it, simple as that lol
Wait. What’s kbin? I’ve seen “@kbin.social” a few times here and assumed kbin must be a lemmy instance?
Im not 100% sure but I believe it’s like its own platform that’s part of the fediverse and is also similar to reddit the same way Lemmy is
The nice thing is that whichever you choose, you can still interact with people on either side so I might as well stick around here just cause I’m too lazy to make another account
Just like Lemmy and mastodon, kbin is a platform that also uses ActivityPub, which means it can talk to all other platforms that use ActivityPub.
Those platforms and their instances make up the fediverse and since your lemmy instance is configured to federate with kbin, you can see and interact with the posts and comments made from kbin. The same is true the other way around.
Idk why this comment got so much downvotes.
I’m assuming some kind of politics are involved with the stuff I mentioned, but like I said, I’m not sure what’s going on there but the fact I even mentioned it obviously is enough to trigger one side of the little war going on there
I absolutely understand why they hate commies/tankies, however If we already start beating down communities that heavily, then we are on a rough start. Let’s just accept our differences and learn from eachother.
I couldn’t agree more, stay on big tech if you can’t accept both sides
