Repost of a previous thread on !ask@lemm.ee: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/33116369?scrollToComments=true
Just came out of a discussion when someone was arguing that “if everyone here would pay $10-20 per year, the whole platform would be completely different”, but that seemed quite unrealistic to me.
What do you think?
Aren’t the Lemmy devs assholes or something? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything good about them.
The topic regularly brought up is their political stance https://github.com/dessalines/essays
Personally I think Lemmy is still the most advanced of the 3 platforms. Mbin and Piefed are catching up, but there aren’t there yet
Why are they the most advanced ? Lemmy lacks lot features compared to mbin and piefed. For example the mod board is minimalistic.
As an Mbin user: what are you referring to with “comments view”? I assume that’s not the comments page of threads (because both have that).
On lemmy, we have two view : post view/ comment view.
If you want to get the latest comment on your instance, you click on comment view. So you can join the lastest discussion. Here is an example :

Comment view turn your timeline into a live chat, as mastodon.
Oh, Mbin does have that for domain pages, so it shouldn’t be too hard to implement a general one for Mbin. I think rather than it being a feature Mbin is “behind” on, it’s probably more that it doesn’t fit the vision of the devs and is deliberately kept out.

That could be it. I mostly use it to keep an eye on older threads, not sure how popular of a use case that is
To be honnest, i don’t share their political view, nor the way they manage their instance and deny some history’s fact.
And, i would like that we avoid critizing lemmy devs in this community. Have you tried mbin and piefed ? If so whats your opinion ? :)
I frequently criticize their attitudes yet at the same time I also appreciate so much that they have released the Lemmy sourcecode as FOSS. I highly respect that decision - so much so that I tend to think of them as (extremely) difficult friends/allies rather than some kind of opposition
They both simultaneously hold back the wider adoption of the Threadiverse among a more mainstream audience (who enjoys being explicitly made fun of? yet Lemmy.ml makes fun of Western culture all the time, on top of / in addition to their disdain for capitalism), even while having helped the portion of our shared cause SO MUCH by having created a truly viable Reddit alternative. It isn’t perfect, but it’s damn fine and I enjoy it, and therefore props to them. Legit I wish I could say that more often too, without doing so bringing out all the trolls.
Bc fuck spez, that’s why!:-P
