As Reddit’s enshittification reaches new heights their attempts to suppress attention for alternatives, like federated Lemmy, has the opposite effect as this Hacker News discussion shows.

The most disturbing thing I’ve seen is the evidence that Lemmy.ml is controlled by a genocide-supporting red fascist/third positionists. If that’s true, its a massive issue and makes the platform hard to trust.
Very open to learning that this isn’t true, if it isn’t.
You are a wrecker who is trying to destroy lemmy. You will not succeed. Go back to 4chan where someone might believe your weird conspiracy theories.

Maybe you’re confusing with lemmygrad?
I’d like to read more on this, if true

Ziq is not a trustworthy source on shit. That guy is well known for lying and impersonating people to stir up shit, and has a personal vendetta against any leftist message board that he isn’t personally capable of manipulating. He impersonated me and a few other members of Hexbear in the very early days when it became clear r/ChapoTrapHouse wasn’t going to settle on Raddle.
Hm really? I saw a few links to posts on reddit with the same username as the lemmy.ml admin. Those posts were extremely Yikes.
Edit: The lemmy.ml admin was removing my posts critical of the Chinese State, so it seems true.

Wow the vitriol, you’re the one assuming the worst in someone else here.

Fuck, i even didn’t notice that the lemmy.ml instance admin, also the Dev of lemmy and the android app has Mao as a profile cover, with Che as avatar…
Yup! The face of genocide & forum administration.

That’s not how this works. If you’re going to make serous accusations like that, the onus is on you to provide evidence to support them.
FWIW, I have no particular loyalty to lemmy.ml, I just joined the first instance I saw.
Here’s some evidence.
Do you happen to have a link to said evidence? I’d love to review it, myself.

So your “evidence” is 4 different links from a “competing” platform, all of which should be considered “one source” not multiple individual sources, one of which is a user post with no actual evidence shown or linked – at least not in the body of the post, I didn’t care to follow through checking the comments – and an article from… Vice.
Not exactly what I would call reputable sources. I’m not DENYING what you’re saying, I just don’t see any specific evidence to support your claim. Just… Be mindful of what you’re using as “source material” when you claim there’s evidence.
There’s other posts by the same user - which can be found on Reddit - where that person does confirm being the original dev. I’m also seeing other people from around the platform confirming it. I’m not saying that’s 100%, but it does seem as if the genocide-denying Tankie lemmy.ml admin is one of the principal devs.

What’s the source on that? That’s a pretty big accusation but I’d certainly want to know if it’s true.
And even if it were true, there are other instances. The only reason I’m on lemmy.ml myself is because the one that was recommended to me first was offline when I tried it, I could move somewhere else if this turns out to be true.
What concerns me just now is whether join-lemmy the website is controlled by them or not. So far I don’t know if it is- But if the entry points are guarded by genocide-supporting (not denying) left-fascists, then that does pose a significant issues.
BTW, these ifs I’m using aren’t rhetoric devices. I’m not stating this as fact. There seems to be indicators of concern- Is what I’m saying.
