Can someone help me understand if the lemmy developers are really neo-Nazis? I would not want to have anything to do with communists and nazis
The lemmy developers seem to be tankies, not neo-nazis. But the software is FOSS neutral from such politics, so anyone can fork and continue improving it. Also this is an anarchist-flavored instance.
To add to this, in case people didn't know, Lemmy isn't centralized.
While there are Lemmy instances that are pro-CCP/STALIN/DRK, there are also instances that have entirely different values, from wholesome (Beehaw) to unregulated (Lemmy.world), and too many others to list (and I'm not really that well versed in them all either, tbh).
Point being, this community has absolutely nothing to do with Tankies aside from there being some Tankies heavily involved in creating the software backend for Lemmy to exist in the first place. (Or so I've heard; I haven't personally looked into this since I don't really care what they're doing over there since it has nothing to do with me or my use of Lemmy.)
Isn't kbin a good alternative? It has a better design
That's subjective ain't it?
If that's your worry, you can always use Stylus and a userstyle
You're worried about supporting communists/nazi's, but supporting reddit that is largely funded by a Chinese Conglomerate and has a CEO that used to moderate a borderline child porn sub wasn't a problem? Kind of an arbitrary line to draw, don't you think?
Yes, it's unpleasant. Nevertheless, Reddit allows writing about the Uyghur genocide and dropped a nuclear bomb on Russian disinformation when it banned Russian domains
I didn't know about it until this API crisis
Realistically, all large social networks have disgusting practices. But when I use open source software, I don't want to have any ties to Nazis and communists
So do the vast majority of Lemmy instances.
Open source means it's open for everyone to use and work on. Everyone is an all inclusive term. People with different views than you can also know how to code and develop. There are people contributing to Lemmy of multiple races, backgrounds, and political beliefs.
Tgey are literally the opposite of Nazis. They main two developers are Marxists. Henve the .ml wich stands for Marxist leninist.
