Many might not know, but the developers of Lemmy are communist tankies - and i’m not joking - that spread propagranda and misinformation. They for example deny the genocide of the Uighurs in China as it is a “hoax perpetated by the western propagandists”.
Now, we don’t know where the creator of Kbin stands, but hopefully they aren’t as controversial. As how I see it all the attention they are getting after the great Reddit escape is going to get quite a bit backtracked when all the tankie stuff starts to get a apparent and drives people away again.
Honestly I’d feel the most comfertable with something as close as possible to Reddit, like a one plattform company connected to the fediverse, instead of umbrella plattforms like Kbin, Mastodon, Pixelfed Etc.
But I am hopeful for Kbin and we will see over time where the Kbin creator goes. Luckily as it is the fediverse I can just jump ship to a different project if I see things going to wrong way lol
Damn, and they’ve got Mao and Fidel on their profiles hahaha. Wild.
It’s such a shame, I was just getting used to Lemmy and staying to encourage others to join up.
For now I suppose I’ll still keep at it, just because I do see some good instances worth engaging outside lemmy.ml. in fact, I’ve barely engaged with lemmy.ml at all, I’ve mostly been into slrpnk.net. Totally recommend checking it out.
Yeah, sure. And if you feel the heat you can always jump over to kbin.social whenever
