!linux@programming.dev

As usual with the fediverse, choice is key.

There were quite a few complaints on !fediverse@lemmy.world about !linux@lemmy.ml not having any real alternative (reddthat.com/post/20166234), so let’s see if we can revive the programming.dev one.

And if it fails, at least we tried.

Oh no, there’s communists involved in my free global collaborative software project!

Not communists. Tankies.

Tankies != Communists

Tankies == Authoritarian Communists and Stalin/Mao/etc apologists

They are very different, despite sharing a word.

What’s wrong with !linux@lemmy.ml ?

Were they talking about China on a Linux community?

Blaze@reddthat.com on 07 Jun 15:59 collapse

Talking about China in news community, then got banned from Linux communities

Ohh now I see the issue.

The lemmy.ml instance has been problematic for a while largely because it’s rife with tankies, but it’s gotten a lot worse lately, and the mods and admins are going kinda crazy over there banning people and censoring stuff.

This is the fediverse working as intended. An instance gets shitty, and people migrate away from it to a better instance.

The moderation issue over there is problematic, but at the end of the day, if that’s how the .ml admins want to play it, it’s kinda their call. There’s no appeal process - they are the ultimate authority for that instance. And the user base can stay or migrate, depending on whether they want to put up with that bullshit. In a way, it’s actually kinda cool to see the theory of fediverse user migration patterns actually play out in response to real life context.

I’m in, but mostly a lurker.

Your votes are valuable

Thanks! I agree some of what’s needed are more lurkers to vote up the little content that is posted, to get more folks posting.
