Most of the people here know about the Lemmy devs political stances. Quite a few people are waiting for Piefed and Mbin to catch up. Nothing new to see here.

I don't know. I just came across it yesterday, and I thought it'd be something interesting to share.

It was explained in the post's body actually:

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives.

Most of the people here know about the Lemmy devs political stances.

Seeing as I've only started using Lemmy less than a month ago, I've only just very recently started realizing that.

I appreciate you posting it

It's okay, I see your account is quite new, so no worries.

As I said, those issues are known, you can have a look at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for posts complaining about power tripping mods, be it lemmy.ml or elsewhere.

The key takeaway is that even with its flaws, Lemmy is the biggest Reddit alternative by far (Discuit has less than 200 weekly active posters, Lemmy has 42000). If there would have been a better alternative people would probably have moved there, but there wasn't (and still isn't) any, so here we are

This was like me months ago. A lot of people here take the mentality of "Well I know about it, so it MUST be common knowledge that everybody knows!"

Completely forgetting that there are 8 billion people on the planet, and something like 65k people on lemmy. Statistically speaking, this means basically nobody in the entire planet knows about lemmy, or the issues with lemmy.ml.

So for every NEW user, this is ALWAYS new info. It's not like facebook where I don't have an account, but already know zuck's a massive piece of shit.
