jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

It has mbin and piefed on the list, so it’s not harming the network at all. If anything it’s more healthy with more platforms rather than just ml and world. It’s one site directing people to the fedi, I’m not butthurt about it

It’s just a random person that registered a domain. Be the change you want to see and make your own?

Wow that change is from June 2023.

Yes, that's quite old, not sure why OP is bringing this up now.

Most of the people here know about the Lemmy devs political stances. Quite a few people are waiting for Piefed and Mbin to catch up. Nothing new to see here.

I don't know. I just came across it yesterday, and I thought it'd be something interesting to share.

It was explained in the post's body actually:

Seeing as I've only started using Lemmy less than a month ago, I've only just very recently started realizing that.

It's okay, I see your account is quite new, so no worries.

As I said, those issues are known, you can have a look at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for posts complaining about power tripping mods, be it lemmy.ml or elsewhere.

The key takeaway is that even with its flaws, Lemmy is the biggest Reddit alternative by far (Discuit has less than 200 weekly active posters, Lemmy has 42000). If there would have been a better alternative people would probably have moved there, but there wasn't (and still isn't) any, so here we are

I wrote this before

I spotted Dessalines posted literal propaganda on some community I joined

gotta be honest that does not sit well with me

[-] FuzzyWeevil@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 4 days ago

Lemmy.world has literal propaganda, too.

They posted a Radio Free Asia article and banned anyone who pointed out it's a government run CIA propaganda op. Even redditors know that's propaganda lol.

It's everywhere, you can't avoid it, you just have to learn to be discerning, media critical, and look into sources.

Valid concern imo, Dev's are just dickheads
