I first was on Lemmy, now on kbin. Kbin is just a much more nicer experience. Also it’s not developed by tankies who glorify f*cking Mao Zedong. Simple as that.
The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I’m torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don’t want to support tankies.
I suppose I shouldn’t sell out for a nice app though.
i use kbin, but not really because of the lemmy dev’s views, rather that I find it more polished.
I honestly don’t care about the developers opinions as long as they’re mentally sane, they can have whatever views they want, i use their software, and thats all. The same applies to linux, for reference, richard stallman has some extremely messed up views i do not agree with, however i dont take that into consideration when using gnu/linux. His software: gnu is incredible, and that’s all that matters. Not his views.
The only threat i can think of, of the lemmy dev’s views is potential censorship on the official instance (though i don’t believe he’s done this yet), which doesn’t really matter either, since there’s many other instances.
It is nice that ernest is a great guy, unlike the lemmy dev, but thats not why i chose to use kbin.
I wouldn’t call supporting china and russia mentally sane lol
Honestly the kbin site works quite well on mobile and you can install it as a PWA
I agree it works well, but it annoys me that there seems to be no way to collapse comment threads, and on iOS, once you press a menu, it’s impossible to hide it again.
Lemmy, on the other hand, is a shitshow on iOS.

You were on lemmygrad?
I just looked a bit through the mastodon accounts of core developers.
