Holy fuck. I'm glad I never heard of or went to Raddle until now. The comments in that thread, including mod comments, are CANCER. There's one guy who repeatedly tries to correct their falsehoods, but he just gets belittled and called a liar. Fuck that shit.
Right? While I can understand trepidation, these guys seem to hate lemmy on a level that I don't understand.
It's more of the same tankies vs. anarchists fighting you see in a lot of leftist spaces, if I were to guess, and the Raddle set doesn't notice that not all Lemmy instances are tankie ones by a long shot.
I certainly don't like the Raddle community's reaction to this, however Beehaw's community has shown somewhat similar reactions to certain topics that have come up. Having some reactionary drama seems unavoidable in any social group. That said, the software that Raddle runs on is pretty sleek. Seems to rival Tildes in quality for a link aggregation and forum software. But it's inability to federate makes it fundamentally different from lemmy.
It's ironic that the anarchist devs created a centralized aggregator in Postmill, while the tankie devs who initially made Lemmy, made it a part of the fediverse. I'd honestly expect it to go the other way around.
It's not what I would have bet on, that's for sure.
