I heard of kbin too and on paper, it looks like a viable alternative. But as you've said, Lemmy is (as of now) more robust, and getting Reddit users to switch to something even less mature seems like a hard sell. With the Reddit blackout coming soon, Lemmy is just in the prime position to grab all the refugees, most of which will probably never find out about the main devs.
That is the one thing that still makes me unsure of whether I should fully support Lemmy or not. I know how the federation works and that those communities can be easily excluded, but what is off to me is that the two main devs of Lemmy itself (and the Android app) are themselves tankies.
Ist das... ein echtes Plakat? Sind die wirklich so dumm?
I am in between jobs at the moment, but I plan to contribute a bit to the app soon
I think he is well past the point of just "dislikable", the guy is just straight up malicious
vroooooooooooooom
There's wiby, a search engine indexing older style pages. I sometimes go there, just hit the random button and explore wherever I end up.
Na, dann werden wir halt gebannt, und dann haben wir noch mehr Grund hier für content zu sorgen, win-win!
Same, except with "game ideas that I can surely implement in a month why not"
Well, I count finding Lemmy as an absolute win
Exactly, bring in the shitposting and porn subs and Lemmy will flourish.
I would generally agree, but tolerance should not extend to the point of accepting genocide denial and defense of clear-cut authoritarianism. See here for the general concept.
Tankies make the (imo) correct assumption that the US (or the west in general) engages in imperialism and is responsible for a huge amount of problems in the world, in addition to general atrocities, but then somehow decide the everything and everyone that opposes the US is perfectly fine and does no wrong. It's baffeling.
