So should some of Lemmy's, and yet here we are.
There is no known state or corporate connection to Lemmy or Piefed, unlike Matrix.
Yep, and yet almost anyone who has spent any time on Lemmy knows what I'm referring to (whether they recognize it and do so as a problem is another matter)
I have no idea what you are referring too, but I only look at my subscribed communities, so I have no idea what's going on in the "Lemmy meta." Being able to only see the communities I subscribe too is one of my three primary reasons for coming here.
The developer's politics vs suspecting a platform may be developed and compromised by state actors are on an entirely different level.
It goes beyond politics into flagrantly lying about moderation actions to push narratives.
Depends on who you ask. It's managing risks for me either way.
Also, you are literally comparing them while claiming they are not comparable.
This is like another version of the age-old "Grammar Nazi" disagreement over one definition over other, when there are actually multiple ones - except in this case, it involves a value judgement. You are right, but so am I, because either would have been a death sentence for me - if it didn't provide benefits I was willing to manage risks for (what I was implying as the subcontext).
You are not me, you are right they are not the same, and it matters or doesn't really matter for those whom both would have been a death sentence. If you are being consistent, I assume that you do not and will never use Matrix, while I still would. I'll just have to be really careful and keep it limited so Mossad does not come over to assassinate me.
Tbf, there were no alternatives at the time when most people moved here. Now there is one with Piefed, I really should move my server.
I maybe too tired to read this thread with all the people implying things and not saying anything straight... I'm very confused, can you maybe let me in on the big secret? Who did what? Lemmy creator/admin? I have no idea what is everyone talking about lol
It seems like an option, but gonna say, having seen some of their biggest contributors try to push people into switching communities over to those moderated by community hoarders also heavily into anarcho-marxism politics - not really getting rid of the problem, are we.
As someone who identifies as an Anarcho-Syndaclist, I'd kindly ask you not to lump Anarchists in with the Marxist-Leninists. Historically, Anarchists usually get fucked over by MLs just as frequently, if not more so, as by capitalists.
Every Anarchist I've had interactions with here has been either pretty vocal about opposition to the political and moral leanings of the people you're referring to, or think anarchist sounds better than Marxist-Leninist, but actually hold to the ideals of the latter not the former.
👍Cheers
