This true? Hasn’t been my experience.
Seemed like quite a few comments bashing Lemmy or suggesting that there is no alternative.
Lemmy.ml being a forced default option (because the devs are tankie authoritarian pieces of shit) gives lemmy as a whole a bad reputation. The entire fediverse needs to defederate from .ml and call it a day.
Honestly, I appreciate that they do not attempt to manipulate the lemmyverse in a way that pushes their agenda. Let them have a default. It’s fine.
People should come into Lemmy with the understanding that it is all about multiple instances and choosing the best one for you. I don’t like who Reddit is run by, but I can do nothing about it from within their ecosystem. Lemmy is built in a way that you can avoid supporting people you don’t want to.
Though the fact they mix pleasure with business. Is a legitimate issue. Tying funding to their political fiefdom rightfully turns many off. Thankfully there are better options these days and no real reason to recommend Lemmy to anyone.
