Lemmy.ml has fully went communist even their application needs you to copy paste a part from a communits book and that’s ok by me every politkcal group has their own instance and has the right to do as they wish . But they should really change their about from foss and privacy advocated to communist leaning .

EDIT : I don’t have any one political view i make my own and follow no one . Also i do think some views of communists are good and this is not my idea of throwing shade to lemmy devs just asking if there are any reasons that they still advertise it as for foss and privacy because i was going join and this stopped me.

EDIT : but it is a question though i am asking why they don’t change their about ?

    The thing is whatever lemmy devs political views are doesn’t affect you like at all unless you are on .ml , .grad or hexbear . Also he can’t ban you as we are on .world and you use the db0 instance.

      They can ban them from either the instance (no one on .ml will see posts from that user) or from this community (no one viewing this community on .ml can see content from this user). Either way, it only affects the .ml instance since they’re not mods for [email protected].

      That is the beauty of it, at least. I’m jaded enough to always remain on edge, waiting for such polarizing devs to start fucking with the software to make it harder for independent instances to go against their beliefs, however that may happen- but until then, we do all have the freedom to move where we want to, and block their instance content.

        Let me assure you that will never ever happen because of the magical words known as OPEN SOURCE . Don’t sweat it too much my guy/gal just enjoy it as yiu go along and if you want to just block the instances you don’t like

          For that you’d need enough developers to maintain a fork. And seeing how /kbin struggles to keep up, the Lemmy devs would have to fuck up pretty extensively for people to really move away.

            While that is true i also meant as in there is nothing they can do to control what direction the other instances go in.
