    I actually don’t think the Lemmy Platform decentralization is working at all. This is evidenced by the fact that several times the tankie lemmy devs have pushed a top of the site banner to beg for donations to help run Lemmy ml, and most instance owners admit they’re not equipped to audit the code and remove it.

    I think Piefed is a superior solution for that reason.

      Need to nuke mods all over. Go to 100% community ownership. Why the fuck any lefty accepts mods is beyond me.

        Not every person can handle the responsibility of the power to push any content to anyone and everyone, thus mods were born out of necessity. Without them the communities you like would be spammed with at best AI scams begging for money and at worst CSAM so as to make it unusable by the people who disagree with your community.

        However, you’re 100% able to buy your own hardware, launch your own instance, and start your own community, just as everyone else is.

      The admins should have a choice in the banner, but each Lemmy instance is also using that software for free and should, in the spirit of Floss, give back. Thats really all I’ll say about that because I’m not an admin nor am I a dev for either software.

        Nah, fuck Tankies.

        Tankies deserve $0. Tankies should have to pay the rest of us reparations for all the propaganda they try to shove down our throats.

        Tankies would convince you and everyone in the west to murder our entire families in the night if they could. They are the enemy, they hate all that is good and just in the world, all they know is war and submission.

          I chill with the bears all day and nobody says that. You seem to be extremely reactionary to that ideology and I think you should step back and look at how polarized you are. It can’t be a healthy mindset. I mean you immediately responded like this and downvoted me for saying something pretty benign from a software development angle.
