The communists & anti-imperialists who regularly get banned from corporate social media have adopted it. Obviously that represents “almost nobody” in comparison to corporate media’s user base. Anyone else who adopts Lemmy is a side-effect to the developers’ core goal of creating protected communities for anti-capitalists and anti-imperialists.

Jesus Christ, everyone here seems to have invented their own definition of what Lemmy is.

Including you.

Except the actual Lemmy developers describe it as:

“a decentralized alternative to Reddit and other link aggregators”

They’ve been calling it a Reddit alternative since at least 2020.

Yes, they’ve been calling it an alternative, not a competitor. They created Lemmy because their communist & anti-imperialist subreddits kept getting banned from Reddit. Such communities are antithetical to capitalism, so they’d likely be banned from any corporate platform, not only Reddit.

Lemmy was created in August 2019 by two communist developers known as Dessalines and Nutomic. Their goal for Lemmy was to provide an open-source alternative to Reddit that anyone could self-host and federate with other Lemmy instances, effectively exchanging content between platforms.

Could you give us any less context 😄

i got an email this morning

From who?

they told me not to look at the breakdown. they told me “just donate and move on.”

Did they, or are you putting words in their mouth?

these screenshots are proof that the “means of production” are heavily skewed toward one developer over another.

Lemmy isn’t a for-profit endeavor, so allusions to capitalism are misplaced. Why the funds might be distributed that way, I haven’t the faintest idea, but I can dream up just as many benign reasons for it as I can nefarious ones.

Instead of drumming up Lemmy drama based on conjecture, you could have asked the developers directly for clarification.

I can’t even log in to it now.

I meant reboot Lemmy, which we can’t do

Remember to back up your backup, because once you wipe your phone, your backup is no longer a backup; it’s your sole copy.

I’ve had such issues since at least yesterday. Maybe a reboot is all that’s needed, idk

Your biggest competitor keeps shooting itself in the foot and you’re still not growing. its not working chief

So what do you suggest we do with our 0 USD marketing war chest?

Lemmy isn’t really our competitor. From a financial perspective, each person who switches from Reddit to Lemmy is a sum loss to both Reddit and Lemmy. Hosting costs money, and unlike Reddit, Lemmy has no advertising revenue to overcome that cost.

Kill the corporate marketer in your head.

Edit to add that quite a few Redditors would be a nightmare to moderate. We don’t even want those assholes. Lemmy instances are communities of volunteers, not revenue streams.

So you agree with them, that life under socialism was materially better than life under capitalism 👍

Neither we nor the Soviets/ex-Soviets ever claimed that socialism or communism was or ever will be utopian, only that they are better than capitalism.

Yes, I belong in here; I just have a deep voice.

Cosmetic rust appearing on the exterior of a warship in a blurry photo from a distance is evidence of fuck-all.
