oh boy I can’t wait for all of the integrations to break
also is it just me or is deciding what software you use and do not pay for based on the political views of the people who create it (who again in no way benefit from its use by people who don’t donate) incredibly fucking stupid
i’m not calling people stupid, i’m calling an idea stupid. is that also not kosher?
Do you know what topic brought you here?
“Hey guys, let’s not use this free software, because of their views.”
“Maybe we shouldn’t use this other free software because of their views.”
“Why are you guys worried about which free software you use based on their views?”
“We can all tell you aren’t new, why are you complaining about our unofficial pastime?”
It’s almost like the philosophy behind a software matters to its long-term stability. Like, as if devs might find reasons to, I don’t know, reject PRs, ignore bugs, and trash their users when they come to them for help.
Weird that the content of someone’s mind might affect their actions or be an indicator of what level of trust they should be extended!
@AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They’ve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw’s decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they’ve been pretty open about discussing it. You’re way off-base.
based on the political views of the people who create it
That is not the reason for the Beehaw switching to another platform, but here’s a few of the true reasons why.
It’s my understanding that it will…I believe that’s, also, what it means when they (Sublinks developers) said it would be “Lemmy compatible”.
That could also mean client API-compatible, so Lemmy apps would work with it, which doesn’t address federation.
then what’s the point if you’re still not getting away from the same people?
I am overjoyed to hear that we’ll be staying in the fediverse and I can stay with beehaw.
It will be “Lemmy compatible”, so hopefully all of Lemmy apps should work fine.
Is it maybe that they’re using the Lemmy frontend, but Sublinks for the backend? But yeah, still a bit weird…
Probably because the project is just taking rust and making it Java…
Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language
why do something original when we can just copy because we say we don’t like the devs?
