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.

hm, raddle.me / postmill looks promising though. is it federated at all? i haven't dived into the code enough yet but i'd love it as an alternative.

Hmmmm, could it be the totalitarian-fellating developers? πŸ€”

Valid concern imo, Dev's are just dickheads

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

[–] teohhanhui@lemmy.world -5 points 5 hours ago

I mean, personally I don't disagree with that random person πŸ˜‚

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.

it's complaints about the developer (which are valid) who also runs lemmy.ml.

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

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 31 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

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.
