    You can pretty much feel the anger from each of his replies, he’s getting shit on and can’t handle it. What an absolute clown

    This is making our switch to Lemmy feel quite justified, isn’t it? Although even if Reddit was still in good shape I think the potential of a decentralized platform is much better. I probably would have migrated here whether this shitstorm happened or not.

      Unfortunately we may just be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. The developers (and moderators of this instance) are unapologetic authoritarians, and on their own instance they ban people for criticizing authoritarian governments. Take a look at this post from their own reddit account in regards to Tiananmen Square.

      I want the fediverse to succeed. I love the idea of a less centrally-controlled approach to social media, because we’ve all seen the problems that can create. But I’m worried that the influence of authoritarian-leaning developers could be a serious problem.

        Can just make an account in another instance (like you´ve done in Beehaw) or kbin I suppose. So far I haven´t seen anything that makes me uncorfortable with lemmy.ml, but given all these smaller platforms are on a trial period for me I have no qualms moving if needed be

        I disagree with the feditips account. I think he’s pushing people away from lemmy rather than the specific instance. I’ve had no issues on lemmy.ml and the mods here have been great. I’m pretty sure he’s just referring to lemmygrad. And like the other user who replied to you said, you could always make a new instance or join another. The political opinions of the devs means nothing if the platform is decentralized. Unlike Reddit, they don’t have power over the entire platform, just whatever instance they host, just like if I made an instance, which I can, I have complete power over it.

          You can look at the modlog and see that lemmy.ml has also banned people for criticism of authoritarian governments. The reddit post I linked to in regards to Tiananmen Square was posted by one of the moderators of lemmy.ml.

            Well, everything else I said stands. You’re on Beehaw, so none of that affects you. I could migrate my account there if it became an issue. Lemmy as an overall platform should still be recommended imo, because there are so many instances to join instead.

    Spez on Christian (Apollo dev)

    His “joke” is the least of our issues. His behavior and communications with us has been all over the place—saying one thing to us while saying something completely different externally; recording and leaking a private phone call—to the point where I don’t know how we could do business with him.

    Spez is a fucking joke
