I keep hearing on Mastodon and elsewhere how the Lemmy devs like to close github issues prematurely, are condescending to people when responding to the issues, host CCP, North Korean, and Russian propaganda on their instances and delete any criticism of those regimes ETC. Even if you don’t care about the propaganda stuff, the rest does not bode well for accessibility fixes or continued cooperation and communication between RBlind mods and lemmy staff in the future. It’s concerning, to say the least.
Because they got used to Reddit, where everyone who isn’t radcial center (Markets and Capitalism are the only way) gets banned.
I dont agree with his views either, but he does great work, doesnt own the protocol, but gifted it to the public and isn’t pushing his believes on others.
IMHO we should get used again to discussing with people who have have a diffrent opinion, instead of only talking to people who already have our opinion.
Yes and no. We do block Lemmygrad for hosting truly vile Russian propaganda.
Because the documentation on how to set up and run a kbin instance is incomplete. Entire sections just say todo. We need something we can run now, not something we might be able to run in October, if we are lucky.
I suppose that makes sense, given the deadlines. I just hope it works out and that the accusations about the arbitrary issue closing and dismissal of problems turns out to be false.
