except crazy authoritarian tankie leadership? It's just a matter of time until one of them goes wacky (again) and brings down the entire brand.
It's good to diversify here.
that is just one instance, in particular lemmy.ml. pretty much everywhere else they make fun of them.
I don't know which part of Lemmy u talking about. What I get to see is posts and comments ridiculizing or even hating russians (as people) get hundreds of likes.
Good, that's like being upset that nazi Germans are being hated on the telegraph. No shit Sherlock
Apparently you confused russians for israelis?
You didn't get the memo? It's fine to be the worst kind of bigot against hundreds of millions of civilian Russians, because of what their government does. They're not like the population in western countries who have to be separated from the atrocities our governments have visited on the rest of the world for centuries. We are pure individuals, they are collectively responsible. So Americans can condemn Russian civilians as monsters, while sharing none of the blame for their own democratically elected government committing daily war crimes and atrocities.
Who cares if the devs are communists, worst comes to worst you can always fork it while you look for an alternative. Never has come to that though, and it doesn't look like it will.
Forking rarely succeeds for big projects. Good luck finding new maintainer to spearhead entire code base and rebrand. Much easier to start with a more trustworthy base.
I don't care that they are communists, I care about how they are assholes. I don't owe assholes anything, certainly not loyalty. They are a toxic influence on the fediverse and should be marginalized. Maybe there was an argument that people should just let them cook when there was not alternative, but that is no longer the case.
Communists isn't the problem.
Transphobic, genocide deniers are.
What happened?
That's just the tankie triad. there are lemmy instances that aren't run by nutters, feddit.uk for example
