The Lemmy devs are a bunch of tankie weirdos, so I'm definitely not going to give money to them.

Thanks. I was about to post that I haven’t yet decided whether to donate to my instance or the developers. I might just go with your opinion

Edit: although after reading, I’m not entirely sure. Part of supporting freedom to discuss is also supporting freedom to discuss things you disagree with or even things that are genuinely hateful. I do tend to end up more on the free speech side than the cancel side. The posted thread from archive at least the complainant moved on: we need to be able to vote with our feet like that

Lemmy.ml is the devs instance, and they have a habit of banning anyone who even slightly differs from their opinions. Basically, if you're not a tankie like them, they will likely ban you.

They're not interested in free discussions.

Slight correction: Lemmy.ml is their reach-out and diplomacy instance. Their actual instance is lemmygrad.

I guess their diplomacy with me was to follow me around and downvote everything I posted until I just abandoned my original account.

Exactly they only harassed you instead of sending you straight to permaban gulag. Took me all of four or five days to get banned from lemmygrad and that's without even posting in their communities.
