Now what might really cook your noodle is the info that the developers of the Lemmy software are pro-Russian genocide deniers, and there's a growing sentiment to not support that by dropping Lemmy in favor of kbin or something else.
Just as I was starting to get the hang of this, it feels like I stepped into another wasp nest.
Ookay, then let's look at kbin, right? Well, there's literally only ONE developer and the current version still very much a (good) beta version. So, not kbin either, then?
What's left? Beehaw, who act like snowflakes and have disconnected from where growth and interesting stuff is happening?
I feel pretty lost in the sea of the fediverse right now. Go back to Reddit? Naw, not right either.
This is the first time I hear about the Lenny developers being pro-Russian. Do you have any source where we can look into it?
Here's the best sourced info I found on the genocide topic: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/47012/-/comment/196579
I'm curious about this Russian connection as well. This is the only related link I've found so far. Can anyone shed more light on this?
