Philippines

I agree it does not matter its open source even more the way fideverse is setup we can have different communities with differing ideologies can choose to interact or not with each other.

There are a lot of controversial people in software world even more in open source. One example is Linus Torvalds they might not want to keep using android for long.

I'm sure a handful of them are using tiktok can't wait for their surpise the company bytedance is basically the CCP.

Yeah, there's a redditor pretty much hounding every thread and copy-pasting that whenever Lemmy is mentioned. Hirap na nga makakalap ng members kasi acquired taste yung UI at medyo hilaw pa mga mobile apps, then you have that tankie BS muddying the waters.

Ironically, he recommended Raddle's existing Philippines community... despite the mod telling me that they're leftist/anarchist-centric and best we make a casual offshoot. Baka hindi lang siguro siya aware, but it is what it is.

@Henry Unfortunately ganyan talaga magisip ung ibang tao. Some normies just really want their websites to be run by corpos with men in suits. I don't agree with them, but there is a tiny bit of logic there. Kung big company ung site, they have more eyes on them and they have more of a responsibility to maintain their good image. But obviously at some point they become too big to care, like what Reddit's CEO is doing.

I doubt you'd find anyone here who would disagree, so instead of that, I'll say this: if you don't like Lemmy, how about Kbin?

Kbin is interoperable with Lemmy, and thus, people getting into Kbin can also access content in Lemmy. That's way better than solutions such as Raddle which operates as a single, isolated island. (Correct me if I'm wrong here, I don't think Raddle is part of the Fediverse tho, which is the point I'm trying to make here.)

Sure, that's besides the point, but maybe it isn't? The fact that Lemmy is part of the Threadiverse means, like what you've said, people can create software that can interact with Lemmy, but is "100% Commie and cruelty-free," or whatever and benefit from the content elsewhere (in the Threadiverse)
