I originally made an account during the Third party app shut down. However, my app still worked after. (Boost). Reddit kept being more and more shitty. Then finally I just made the permanent switch.
Then after using lemmy for a while I learned the devs were dumb fuck tankies and switch to Piefed.
What's wrong Lemmy?
He’s referring to the Lemmy devs and main Lemmy instance .ml. The admins and a large base on that instance are tankies, ie: they support fascist governments like Russia and China and frequently ban anyone who talks bad of either. It shows in the GitHub too.
I’ve had .ml blocked for sometime because it’s just not worth seeing all that bs. Shame that some major communities are only available on .ml tho just because it’s the original instance, but hey that’s what federation is for and about.
they have also infilitrated political memes community recently too, when before it was more "neutral". since they dont arnt having the arguments or reactions they are getting from the rest of "left leaning" users from thier own echo chambers.
The good news is you can join Lemmy without any knowledge of .ml at all. I just Googled Lemmy, which led me to .world and it took me a few months before I started noticing a pattern with .ml users and then found out about their....situation.
I pretty much only still use Reddit to promote Lemmy and I just tell people to create an account on .world and just tell them it's the main instance.
