“.ml has a bunch of huge comms” is nothing but a myth anyways
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active_month
By MAUs, only a single .ml comm is in the top 25, doesn’t even crack the top 10 and it’s a meme comm
Join the boycott of the tankie instance Lemmy.ml today! So we can show instance admins of the wider Lemmy-verse that .ml does NOT reign supreme and it’s NOT worth it to “look the other way” on the .ml admins documented behavior because of their supposed “biggest comms”
Congrats to [email protected] 👏
Theoretically they can’t but I think them being main developers may have some unforeseen ramifications in the future. I know that in theory everyone can fork and stuff but if they write shit enough quirky code no one else will understand or want to maintain the spaghetti. There is some power behind being the only one who understands entirety of the code I think that maybe could be used at some point with some obfuscation
True.
I edited it sorry, always write comments heavily editing lol adhd
Forks for idealogical reasons never work, take redot as an example. When a developers beliefs begin to affect the code itself, then a fork is warranted. For now, lemmy is safe.
Kbin and Piefed are good alternatives to Lemmy already and are on the same federated network.
I agree, but lemmy as a project is still fine, for now.
I am excited for piefed though, there is a lot it does right. I’m sure sublinks will be ready any day now.
kbin died, mbin forked away from it and is still around though.
