It seems like an option, but gonna say, having seen some of their biggest contributors try to push people into switching communities over to those moderated by community hoarders also heavily into anarcho-marxism politics - not really getting rid of the problem, are we.
Yep, and yet almost anyone who has spent any time on Lemmy knows what I’m referring to (whether they recognize it and do so as a problem is another matter)
I have no idea what you are referring too, but I only look at my subscribed communities, so I have no idea what’s going on in the “Lemmy meta.” Being able to only see the communities I subscribe too is one of my three primary reasons for coming here.
I know what you’re referring to, and I agree it’s likely off-putting to many, but not agreeing with the developer’s politics is on an entirely different level compared to suspecting a platform may be developed and compromised by state actors.
Again though, that’s a social problem, one that can even be eliminated through defederation. It’s not an ‘abandon all ships’ type of problem.
To be clear I am fully acknowledging that that situation isn’t good. I am very specifically pointing out that a state actor controlling and developing the platform is a much bigger problem, they are not comparable.
So should some of Lemmy’s, and yet here we are.
Tbf, there were no alternatives at the time when most people moved here. Now there is one with Piefed, I really should move my server.

There is no known state or corporate connection to Lemmy or Piefed, unlike Matrix.

It goes beyond politics into flagrantly lying about moderation actions to push narratives.
