I don’t consider this acceptable simply because it happens randomly.
My favorite bit from this exchange:
they should talk about us more and complain about us louder. i want all the cool people to come here. i want donald trump to tweet about how bad we are. i want netanyahu to say we are in league with hamas.
You think it’s a good thing that new people looking to join Lemmy are directed towards Hexbear (or Lemmygrad or even ML)?
Be honest.
Ignoring the Grad/Hexbear stuff, didn’t the ml devs found the entire lemmyverse or whatever it’s called? Why should they not be allowed to be visible on a page that they’re probably the maintainers of?
I bet some of these ding dongs don’t even know that. It would blow their minds that the codebase is maintained by commies. I’m pretty sure there was a time people were very aware of that and even wanted to fork the codebase because “something” might happen, because of the tankies running it.
they have made some attempts to write it from the groun up. The latest one is piefed afaik
