[Answered] Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? - programming.dev

I read an old thread [https://lemmy.world/post/29072279] documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here’s a topic to discuss it. What should we do? What are the options? ----------- Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

We already have Piefed and Mbin.
OK, thanks. I guess I’ll be migrating to those and setting up a donation - if they don’t use Github sponsors.
Both main devs of Mbin support at least Librepay.

Also the piefed main dev is nice normal human being with humanist views of the world. He has a rational discourse toolkit box with links about how to handle extremism, disinformation and stuff like that.

Piefed would be much better aligned with your views.

humanist view of the world

Sure, but isn’t he the same guy writing the backend to specifically exclude or editorialize the posts by the member who does thorns?
