WIth Reddit self-destructing, many have been wondering about alternatives on the Fediverse.
I do NOT recommend Lemmy. I have serious long-standing deep concerns about the developers, see here: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379
As far as I know, nothing has changed since then and Lemmy's issues remain.
Alternatively there's Kbin (https://kbin.social & https://kbin.pub) which seems less problematic. Regarding cryptocurrency issue: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediparty/pulls/97#issuecomment-663170
@feditips I don't get why it's a problem. The fact that main developers are problematic or not does not remotely impact the moderation policy of the instances and their problematic traits aren't impacting the code itself. Furthermore, bigotry is forbidden in the flagship instance and highlighted instance seems relatively safe.
" Furthermore, bigotry is forbidden in the flagship instance and highlighted instance seems relatively safe."
Please read the thread I linked.
The flagship instance's stated rules don't match what the instance actually does in reality. I give specific examples.
Having rules and implementing rules are totally different things, as Orwell noted in Animal Farm.
@feditips And even so, there are always other instances.
