Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they’re created. I know that liberals really don’t like dissenting opinions but goddamn

    the lemmy team was right to tell that person to go pound sand back then, and they would be right to do it again.

    That “nothing has changed” is wrong. Lemmy.ml, which is the instance the person was referring to back in 2021, is not positioned as the flagship or official instance, just a FOSS enthusiast and generalist instance.

    By the nature of federation you can’t control what instances people will make. You can’t prevent anyone from using Lemmy to host their own website, not even the devs can. Best you can do is not federate with the instance you don’t like.

    I remember dessalines saying back then that people on mastodon just like to complain and these things never go anywhere, and he’s right, they don’t. Lemmy is still strong 2 years later and nothing about the software itself is problematic like this person wants to claim. I mean, I hate the notepad++ dev’s state dept opinions on foreign affairs, but I still use the software lol

    That original thread incredibly manages to be so irritating lol, it’s so self-righteous and self-flagellating.
