jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Valid concern imo, Dev's are just dickheads

[–] rarbg@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours ago

It’s just a random person that registered a domain. Be the change you want to see and make your own?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah watch out for that sotware

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

It has mbin and piefed on the list, so it’s not harming the network at all. If anything it’s more healthy with more platforms rather than just ml and world. It’s one site directing people to the fedi, I’m not butthurt about it

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Makes sense to me.

That feels like complaints about lemmy.ml specifically more than Lemmy as a software. There's a few instances that defederate lemmy.ml out there.

How much effort do you think Meta, Twitter, and Reddit put into getting open social media people to fight against themselves?

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 15 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

They can do whatever shit they want with their instance and believe whatever they want. The software they make provably doesn't have any more biases than any other software. As long as that's the case, I'm fine.

Lemmy was removed due to:

  • reports of how the developers handle certain types of content (post removed, view an incomplete archive)
  • the behavior of its creator
  • how the sotware itself handles users' privacy.

All valid concerns.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

No, they're not.

how the developers handle certain types of content

Doesn't matter if you stay away from .ml.

the behavior of its creator

Kind of valid, but open source and open license negates a lot of that.

how the sotware itself handles users’ privacy.

You think anything else on the Fediverse is better? When you post something publicly, it's public. Doesn't really matter what the software does. If you don't have End to End encryption, it's not private.

deleted by creator

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 4 hours ago

This is why I'm looking forward to Sublinks launching.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 hours ago

The linked post given on the second point is a bit flimsy. It's basically saying that if you use evidence published by a person with shitty views, you must have them too. To me, that's absurd as claiming that referencing FBI statistics makes someone a federal agent.

[–] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works 40 points 12 hours ago (13 children)

Point 1 and 2 really need to be addressed.

It would be so much better if lemmy wasn't developed by genocide white-washing tankies.

Nutomic and Dessalines may be tankies, but they're our tankies

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Not wrong lol. I dislike their behavior but still contribute code to lemmy.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 3 points 1 hour ago

Same, I am very opposed to their views, but they make this platform, so I respect them as FOSS developers

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

They may be your tankis, but they sure arent our tankies.

They can fuck right off

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They are literally developing the platform we are on. Sure, I don't agree with their opinion at all, but it doesn't mean I can't respect their work.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 0 points 1 hour ago

Doing a pretty shit job at it.

I used to use reddit. Those devs made the same mistake, and I dont respect either.
