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.
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)
For the record, if they are what’s now called tankies I doubt they are defending Khrushchev.
I can’t be too specific because I don’t have the original thread on hand, but the gist of it is that one person on mastodon was calling out for a boycott because one dev reportedly supports* the CCP.
*“Supports” may be “doesn’t believe every accusation” because in this topic it seems that if you don’t agree that Xi eats babies for breakfast then it means that you think the CCP is the best thing ever. I haven’t read the devs statements because frankly I don’t care if they are a commie or not.
