PSA: Alternatives for the most popular lemmy.ml communities - Lemmy
lemmy.mlFor all your boycotting needs. I’m sure there’s some mods caught in lemmy.ml
[http://lemmy.ml]’s top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people,
my condolences for the cross-fire. 1. !memes@lemmy.world [/c/memes@lemmy.world]
and !memes@sopuli.xyz [/c/memes@sopuli.xyz]. Or of course communities that rule.
2. !asklemmy@lemmy.world [/c/asklemmy@lemmy.world] 3. !linux@programming.dev
[/c/linux@programming.dev]. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available.
Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :) 4.
!programmer_humor@programming.dev [/c/programmer_humor@programming.dev] 5.
!world@lemmy.world [/c/world@lemmy.world] 6. !privacy@lemmy.world
[/c/privacy@lemmy.world] and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one
[/c/privacyguides@lemmy.one], lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air.
!fedigrow@lemm.ee [/c/fedigrow@lemm.ee] says
[https://reddthat.com/comment/11037523] !privacy@lemmy.ca [/c/privacy@lemmy.ca].
They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :) 7.
!technology@lemmy.world [/c/technology@lemmy.world] 8. Seems like
!comicstrips@lemmy.world [/c/comicstrips@lemmy.world] and
!comicbooks@lemmy.world [/c/comicbooks@lemmy.world], various smaller
comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
[/c/eurographicnovels@lemm.ee] 9. !opensource@programming.dev
[/c/opensource@programming.dev] 10. !fuckcars@lemmy.world
[/c/fuckcars@lemmy.world] (Out of the loop? Here’s a thread on lemmy.ml mods and
their questionable behaviour [https://lemmy.world/post/16211417])
this is my favorite post there, deeply unserious person CW: cognitohazard
I don’t know whether it matters that much at this point. Possibilities:
The liberal forks don’t last when lib developers realise there is nothing in it for them except a lifetime of developing it.
The liberal forks eventually corporatise in a way that makes them fundamentally incompatible with the original goal of Lemmy which was to escape corporate control of social media.
The forks continue and it works out fine achieving the original goal.
If 1 or 2 happens, then the issue comes back to communists again.
If 3 happens, it doesn’t matter whether it’s communists in charge or not the intended goal is achieved.
Honestly i just see 3 not lasting for long and eventually becoming either 1 or 2 and then just bleed users and die, either way Lemmy would just out last them.
