I know, I’ve been on lemmy for the past 6 years. But I can’t just overlook that swollen pimple and still use the sofware while there’s alternatives that are maintained by people who, to my knowledge, don’t have such disgusting views.
You might have misunderstood what I was getting at 😅. I wasn’t thinking about servers or admins, but about the person/people behind the project. That’s whose views I can’t overlook.
I’m aware. As far as I know, Dessalines does not share those views at all, nor do the other contributors to Lemmy. Rimu is the lead developer of PieFed, and the largest PieFed instances are generally ones that align more closely with Lemmy.world style views, ie anti-communism and liberal Zionism.

I sure hope so! The problem is, even though anti-bigotry is a part of Lemmy’s code of conduct, and the first rule of Lemmy.ml, he never addressed the noisiest of the issues with Nutomic, i.e., his transphobia…

To be fair, since the grand Reddit exodus, it’s the same on Lemmy if you exclude the troika (like damn, people, stop with the “triad” shit! “Troika” is just the superior term).
I don’t disagree with your concern, but given that options are essentially PieFed, Reddit, or Lemmy (with a tiny bit on mbin), Lemmy is the best of the bunch.
As for the “troika,” I’m aware that Lemmy.world is the biggest instance and that several others that are active are aligned, but on PieFed it’s far more skewed at the moment.

I’m not certain about Melroy, so I can’t say, but Lemmy itself does not have those views, nor does every instance (in fact, most do not).

It really is!
