The original french post that motivated hexbear’s decision : https://jlai.lu/post/11504685
There is already various posts here giving us reasons to defederate them, one of them calling to violence against french :
On jlai.lu :
Dessalines, one of Lemmy main developper is taking part :
Some of hexbear supporter denying being part of an attack without any apologies :
Should we support Lemmy or migrate to another software as Mbin, piefed, sublinks ? Time will tell.
Mbin
- Mbin’s roadmap : https://github.com/orgs/MbinOrg/projects/5
- One instance running Mbin : https://kbin.earth/
Piefed
- Piefed’s roadmap : https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/projects/7800
- Flagship’s instance : https://piefed.social/
- Piefed news : !piefed_meta@piefed.social
Sublinks
- Sublinks’s roadmap : https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1/views/6
- Flagship’s instance : https://demo.sublinks.org/
- Sublinks news : !sublinks@discuss.online
This is not a software issue. We would be facing the same problem on Piefed or Mbin
True and i wrote this post, so i also play a part in this. I’m pondering. We could fork it and separate politic and software. We can also choose our server wich is awesome and thank to Lemmy’s dev.
Currently, i’m hesitating because Dessalines is the admin of Lemmy.ml, even tough it’s not the biggest instance i consider it as the flagship instance of lemmy.
We did the same debate long ago on Reddit and Lemmy.world. I’m switching my opinion because of Dessalines’s participation. I’m less neutral about it.
Another reason, i think those software, even if piefed and sublinks are still beta, are better than Lemmy.
Regarding apps support alone Lemmy is miles ahead the others
Edit: mobile apps
