Honestly, I’m not sure. I keep seeing people talk about “political views of the lead dev,” and I see this a LOT, but no one has stepped up to actually explain what they’re talking about. If you find it, I’d appreciate a link or something. I’m sure it’s there, I’m just too lazy to go digging.
I’ve only seen it mentioned a few places, but I saw people complaining about Lemmy in general being too leftist / communist. I don’t know if that’s true, and I don’t think it matters either way, but that’s the “drama” that I’ve seen.
Happy to help :) I feel like these kind of discussions are important for a platform. One of the times when I appreciate the fact that downvoting is not possible in beehaw.
Yeah I never really understood downvoting on reddit either. Throughout 6 years I’ve only had to touch that button like a handful of times regardless of how badly I disagreed with what someone else said.
You have better self-control than me :) Arguments with trolls in bad faith and trolls in general are ocassion when I’ve downvoted content. Not on disagreements though. Good discussions are how we learn things in my experience.
Anything I can read about the Lemmy drama?

Seems to be people upset about non-mainstream takes on the Russia/Ukraine war and China Uyghur stuff from what I’ve seen.
I’m sure they were equally concerned and principled when it came to the political views of the Reddit admins.
Thank you - I didn’t see that coming and it’s downright hilarious!

Thanks. There was some good discussion there and highlights why a public modlog is very important to evaluate the health of any Lemmy instance.
