I have a lemmy.ml account and i didn’t know that they were bad . I created this account after seeing that post .( I am not into politics as you can see if you visited the account i have put in my bio ) so is that true ?

-Ca. someone explain like what are the lemmy devs political stance ?

-Is lemmy as whole affected by it because i think the two main guys who hold all the cards are the ones with these opinions ,like do they have any control on lemmy as whole in anyway ? Or just the instance ?( I know if they are really bad we can fork lemmy)?

-Is feddit.ch good in these aspects ?

-Are they even really bad or do everyone have different opinions ? The things i consider bad and not polical stance are : for instance i just don’t like trump because he is against t lgbt and being racist etc. Which are geniunly bad in my opinion and not just difference in opinions .

  • i know this is more than one question but please answer as much as i can and when talking politics talk like you are explainining politics to a five year old .

  • If this isn’t the right sub i apologise please don’t just down voat me to hell atleast explain where i should move it and i will do that

  • Thanks in advance will read each and every reply and updoot and reply as much as i can .

EDIT : And if they are that bad why aren’t anyone forking it ? It’s not like they are carrying the whole thing . Everyone is contributing .

  • Also if the dev’s want to explain their sides i would like to hear it .

      I don’t know what the rationale in that case is, but I’m sure that there are people who prefer Java to Rust for one reason or another.

      Rust is, I think, generally-considered to be sexier, but then, Java has a hell of a lot of inertia behind it. Lot of code, lot of developers.

      It says that the lead dev on Sublinks learned Rust in order to contribute to Lemmy, before he got frustrated with scaling issues and went off to do Sublinks, so I’d guess that he probably had a lot of Java experience.

      I’d personally say that probably both Java and Rust are reasonable languages to use for developing a Threadiverse server. Kbin is PHP, which is probably even less-sexy than Java, but hey, there are a lot of people out there who know PHP.

      Way more developers that know and are comfortable with the language.
