Sure, I think the tankie and extremely pro-CCP/Kremlin views expressed by the developers and lemmygrad server members are outright dumb. But I do appreciate that they leave room for all of us of differing views to exist without constantly clashing, by creating this federated system.
You know you've done well when you've made something that's bigger than yourself and your own interests.
Is there any actual proof of this? I have seen it repeated over and over and over, but I have yet to see literally anyone provide receipts.
There was some more info posted in another comment: https://beehaw.org/comment/318333
Sorry if I didn't provide sufficient proof, depends on which aspect you would have liked me to clarify on?
tankie views: essays on github by the main developers I'm not trying to argue right or wrong in this comment, just to show these are texts representing the beliefs held by the lead developer.
Tankie moderation: Orientalism stipulated as reason for comment rule and ban on a Ukraine-related thread
Creating something bigger than themselves: From open sourcing lemmy, and structuring lemmy in a way that gives liberty for instance owners to rule as they please.
Thanks for the reply and info. So basically he's a communist of some stripe or another. I am hard left (USA hard left so left of center for those of you who live in normal countries) so my views do not align with his.
I can't figure out how this relates to software development though. Who gives a shit if he's a communist or if he bleaches and waxes his asshole every Thursday? Literally to the point of people suggesting forking lemmy (these people clearly have absolutely no idea how software development works to be suggesting something so stupid).
