I have a lemmy.ml account and i didn’t know that they were bad . I created this account after seeing that post .( I am not into politics as you can see if you visited the account i have put in my bio ) so is that true ?

-Ca. someone explain like what are the lemmy devs political stance ?

-Is lemmy as whole affected by it because i think the two main guys who hold all the cards are the ones with these opinions ,like do they have any control on lemmy as whole in anyway ? Or just the instance ?( I know if they are really bad we can fork lemmy)?

-Is feddit.ch good in these aspects ?

-Are they even really bad or do everyone have different opinions ? The things i consider bad and not polical stance are : for instance i just don’t like trump because he is against t lgbt and being racist etc. Which are geniunly bad in my opinion and not just difference in opinions .

  • i know this is more than one question but please answer as much as i can and when talking politics talk like you are explainining politics to a five year old .

  • If this isn’t the right sub i apologise please don’t just down voat me to hell atleast explain where i should move it and i will do that

  • Thanks in advance will read each and every reply and updoot and reply as much as i can .

EDIT : And if they are that bad why aren’t anyone forking it ? It’s not like they are carrying the whole thing . Everyone is contributing .

  • Also if the dev’s want to explain their sides i would like to hear it .

    Getting instance banned is a problem that wasn’t present on Reddit.

    On Reddit, sometimes the mods of a sub would be drinking stupid juice and ban people just for disagreeing with them. That wasnt a huge problem because a mod on a power trip only stopped you from posting/commenting in that sub; it wasn’t a site-wide ban.

    The problem on Lemmy is that instance admins are essentially filling the role of subreddit mods. Except when they go on a power trip and ban users of their instance, that whole account is suddenly banned from the entire Fediverse because the user can’t even log in anymore. That’s pretty shitty.

    This is my second account. My first got banned from an instance because I dared question the admins opinion. And no, it wasn’t racist or political shit, it was literally about the quality of a show. They graciously offered to unban me if I wrote a long ass apology saying they were right and promising to never question them again; but I felt that was childish, so I moved to another instance.

    Losing my comment history isn’t a big deal, but having to recreate my filters and subscriptions list is a pain in the ass. All because some power tripping admin got mad that I didn’t like his favorite show.

      I could see that happening. If you’re arguing with the admins of the instance that hosts your account, the most charitable reaction is “Maybe this isn’t the right instance for you.”

      And if they’re willing to site-wide ban your account over stupid shit like that, I guess it really isn’t an instance for you. ;)

      In an ideal world, it would be super hard to get banned like that. Spam, piracy, CSAM, abuse etc.
