Thanks, Imma quote this when some dumbass shrugs at me and says we’re all fucked and there’s no hope left. Like, I get feeling depressed about the state of things but it’s such an obvious cop out that it makes me livid whenever I hear it.

I can’t tell, are you actually opposed to windmills? Aren’t they a good source of clean energy we should be moving towards?

Gotcha, I think that makes sense. I don’t know much about Piefed, but hey, if it works it works. I prefer Lemmy anyway because it is integrated like that.

Sorry I’m only getting back to this now, but thank you! I do understand instances and whatnot, but I guess my question boils down to this: if the whole of Lemmy somehow gets influenced by the shitty views of some or all of the devs (I’m not sure how many there are), and a fork is needed, does that bring down all of the instances and existing infrastructure of Lemmy with it? Like, the existing instances won’t be able to upgrade to the latest version, and then if they use the fork instead, will that screw with other things? I guess this is a question for a programmer, but it’s on my mind lol

So wait, is this another hub for Lemmy’s servers? How is this different then just accessing Lemmy through a third party app? Is this a totally different platform despite accessing the same servers? I’m a bit confused.

I see… Yikes. I know nothing about those other projects and I’ll look them up, but are they forks of Lemmy handled by different people, or just front ends TO Lemmy? Apologies if I’m missing something obvious.

Wait so if the Lemmy devs are transphobic… Should there not be a fork at this rate? Also, I’ve heard a lot of shit talked about .ml and seemingly for good reason but what’s the story with all this? How did it get this bad?
