I don’t understand how Lemmy.world developers managed to surpass both Lemmy.ml and Beehaw.org instances in user activity.

    Yeah I’m ok with it for now, and will chalk it up as some guys being young and idealistic with strange idiosyncratic or edgy views they might grow out of.

    I’ve seen their statements trying to walk it back and they seem generally very well intentioned, I give it the benefit of doubt for now.

      This is really seeming to look like “dev team was unclear that they didn’t want politics on their server. They removed comments critical of Russia. Group of people ran with this as evidence they are pro-Russia/Anti-Ukraine. dev team tried to clarify their policies but it’s too late and the PR Shitstorm already happened”.

      Tough spot to be in as a “startup” FOSS platform but could totally infer that’s how it is playing out.

        It was all their own words though, not just content on the server, but anyhow no worry.
