I keep hearing on Mastodon and elsewhere how the Lemmy devs like to close github issues prematurely, are condescending to people when responding to the issues, host CCP, North Korean, and Russian propaganda on their instances and delete any criticism of those regimes ETC. Even if you don’t care about the propaganda stuff, the rest does not bode well for accessibility fixes or continued cooperation and communication between RBlind mods and lemmy staff in the future. It’s concerning, to say the least.
There’s a fair amount of exaggeration and guilt by association involved with the lemmy devs. And in any case, lemmy has a much better tech stack (no, this isn’t just me hating on PHP; languages and implementations are not all equivalent and have consequences).
