If the developers of Lemmy magically changed to others whose views you agree with, would you then return to using Lemmy?

It’d be a bit late now. I’ve already made the move to Piefed. It would’ve had to have happened before I made the move.

As mentioned, Piefed is compatible with Lemmy, so it’s not like Lemmy users are ‘cut off’.

Isn’t there also a third option where you can fork it [1], continuing development yourself [3]?

Theoretically, yes, but as far as I know, there aren’t major projects undertaking such an endeavor at present.

This places users who are not genocide deniers or supporters in an awkward position - namely, that either we refrain from contributing to the devs - damaging the longevity of the platform we’re using - or that we contribute to them despite their horrific views - enabling them to continue spreading and creating a space for genocide denial.

Lemmy, the platform/software, needs to be maintained. Either we refuse to support the system we’re using, damaging its long-term prospects for survival, or we contribute to the people running it, who use it for genocide denial. Better to move to a non-shitty Fediverse alternative.

Weird, it works fine for me

Any day. I’m already over there on my Piefed account.

I didn’t feel ‘good’ about locking the comm and leaving people who didn’t see the announcement in the dark, so I’m just commenting on posts that come up.

Just a reminder that the comm is moving to [email protected]
