I just found an old post from reddit of a guy who suggested people to come here in another post saying he was wrong about lemmy and the lemmy devs are bad ? (feddit.ch)

I have a lemmy.ml account and i didn't know that they were bad . I created this account after seeing that post .( I am not into politics as you can see if you visited the account i have put in my bio ) so is that true ?

-Ca. someone explain like what are the lemmy devs political stance ?

-Is lemmy as whole affected by it because i think the two main guys who hold all the cards are the ones with these opinions ,like do they have any control on lemmy as whole in anyway ? Or just the instance ?( I know if they are really bad we can fork lemmy)?

-Is feddit.ch good in these aspects ?

-Are they even really bad or do everyone have different opinions ? The things i consider bad and not polical stance are : for instance i just don't like trump because he is against t lgbt and being racist etc. Which are geniunly bad in my opinion and not just difference in opinions .

i know this is more than one question but please answer as much as i can and when talking politics talk like you are explainining politics to a five year old .
If this isn't the right sub i apologise please don't just down voat me to hell atleast explain where i should move it and i will do that
Thanks in advance will read each and every reply and updoot and reply as much as i can .

EDIT : And if they are that bad why aren't anyone forking it ? It's not like they are carrying the whole thing . Everyone is contributing .

Also if the dev's want to explain their sides i would like to hear it .

pretty ordinary Polish guy

Ernest is a super genuine and nice guy,

Oh, totally, no disagreement. When I said "ordinary", I wasn't trying to ding him -- he seems to be a great guy and all. I just mean that he isn't going around doing controversial political advocacy in conjunction with his project.

I initially used kbin, hopped over to lemmy when it had a couple days where kbin.social was having some issues, then hopped back when the problematic 0.19.x lemmy releases caused a lot of problems on lemmy.today, and am currently back on lemmy.today.

Oh yeah chief, I was agreeing with you. Didn't mean to put you on the defensive. Ernest is overwhelmingly "just some dude" who happens to be very pleasant to interact with and is building one of my favorite projects on the internet. It's a stark contrast to some others I could name. I wasn't implying calling him ordinary was some insult, I was just adding my voice to the chorus.
