No one really knows how things will play out but I was wondering if people are committed to Lemmy, or would the mod team migrate to greener pastures if a better, more functional alternative comes to the forefront.

I’m hoping Lemmy can improve but I personally don’t love using it. Its still early days though so that might change. There are a couple promising alternatives in development right now but since they aren’t out, everyone is migrating to lemmy.

As someone with a disability, the UI/UX is problematic and makes me physically ill after using it for a short period of time.

Do you mean just Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole? Cause I hear some complaints about the ethics of the Lemmy creators and some people are switching to kbin which is still in the fediverse. So I can see people jumping ship to kbin but I already made my Lemmy account and don’t really care to switch at the moment. I’m not entirely sure what the situation with Lemmy creators is anyways

I’m assuming some kind of politics are involved with the stuff I mentioned, but like I said, I’m not sure what’s going on there but the fact I even mentioned it obviously is enough to trigger one side of the little war going on there

I absolutely understand why they hate commies/tankies, however If we already start beating down communities that heavily, then we are on a rough start. Let’s just accept our differences and learn from eachother.

I couldn’t agree more, stay on big tech if you can’t accept both sides

Well unless their ideology is baked into the programming I’m not sure why it would matter. It certainly doesn’t matter to me.

I feel the same. I can just block instances or people if I don’t like it, simple as that lol

Some people are crying because one of the devs is a commie.

Could you elaborate? I’m curious as to what that whole situation is about?

Before Lemmy blew up in popularity the majority of its users were commies/tankies and that applies for the devs too. It seems they sympathize with communist ideologies like maoism and other ones, and they deny the ujghur genocide. Honestly I’m open to communicate about why did they chose communism as their preferred ideology, but It’s a bit hard for me to be neutral since my people were executed and beaten down our revolt against the commie government, and they fucked up the general hungarian psyche which still heavily haunts the political space here. (1956 Hungarian revolution)
