Also, Lemmys devs have pretty radical political views and I don’t want to support sites that don’t care about human rights
Lemmy isn’t a site, it’s a piece of server-software. The software is written by a couple of people with bad political opinions, who also run a popular site using that software, Lemmy.ml.
You can skip using Lemmy.ml and just use another server using this software. The software itself isn’t magically poisoned or anything!
Gotem lmao
That seems a rather simple statement to throw out there without backing it up..are we supposed to just repeat information like parrots now? Or is there information out there I haven't been made aware of?
From what I understand, one of the core devs (Dessalines) is a Marxist-Lenninist; they later founded the second Lemmy instance, Lemmygrad.ml.
Recently, there was some discussion on Lemmy.ml’s (the first and official-ish instance) policy of banning any crticisms of China’s government (e.g., even mentioning the Uyghur genocide) on their own servers.
Hmm..... I see the points being made. Thanks for supplying actual information. I think it's a bit too soon to see how this will play out, and people are quite malleable, so this will be interesting to watch develop.
Whatever country you are in, they don't actually care about human rights. It's all driven by greed and power.
