the user @beforewisdom over on veganism mastodon has bee doing some digging. hree's what they found

#Lemmy I made this earlier post about how the main developer for Lemmy is a political extremist, homophobe, and antisemite who has defended genocide. https://veganism.social/@beforewisdom/110559557047421529 I have come across even more concerning information about this person: https://www.reddit.com/r/APIcalypse/comments/140qymq/lemmy_is_not_a_viable_reddit_replacement/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/143o5xd/reconsidering_my_support_for_lemmy/ https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379 https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/13zl7s1/fediversetips_i_do_not_recommend_lemmy_i_have/ https://www.reddit.com/r/APIcalypse/comments/140qymq/lemmy_is_not_a_viable_reddit_replacement/ Even if this extremist never makes a cent off of Lemmy he is building it for a reason. Even if that is personal satisfaction please do not give it to him by using what he built. It is probably not a great idea to potentially expose your data to an unhinged political extremist.

I would not use his instance, but the software is no longer just his. It belongs to the community now.

The software is ripe for forking, too. Lemmy has been slow to update for a while now, and I don't think there's any way they're going to keep up with the pace of development people are going to want or expect.
