An admin of this instance, Nutomic, is a transphobe and has no right to be able to ban trans people from this community. (lemmy.ml)

I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/[email protected], the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

We don't need their software.

Sublinks, crafted using Java Spring Boot, stands as a state-of-the-art link aggregation platform, reminiscent yet advanced compared to Lemmy & Kbin.

It features a Lemmy compatible API, allowing for seamless integration and migration for existing Lemmy users.

Im all but convinced sublinks is a grift trying to capitalize on the failures of reddit and wants to poach as much of the users from lemmy (especially lemmy.world) as possible. Their reasoning for creating this clone is extremely flimsy, "not enough mod tools" and before submitting any patches or attempts to improve lemmy they want to reinvent the whole system from scratch. Their stated reason for that "they don't want to learn rust" also is very weird considering that it would be less effort to learn rust (especially if you already have a professional coding background) and submit patches to lemmy.

Instead they reinvent the wheel with the notable difference being that they are using a license that would allow a corporation to monetize the content whereas the lemmy license disallows this for it and any derivatives of it. Which is what I think is the real reason for the rewrite.

Also they have stated that while they will have lemmy compatibility in the beginning they will move away from it later which just sounds like a classic embrace, extend and extinguish move.

Edit: not poach users from lemmy.world but rather move the lemmy.world userbase to its platform where they can monetize it. It's funny that you already have to basically submit a job application there (complete with resume of you past jobs lol) if you want to be a mod, although probably unrelated.

Yeah, every time I see it come up it just makes me ask "but why yet another platform" I always assumed it was because they didn't have anyone who could meaningfully contribute in rust - that explanation seems plausible though

didn’t have anyone who could meaningfully contribute in rust

That and it seems they’re using the languages and tech stack they use in their day jobs, which also makes sense. Whether that was accurately weighed against the benefits and costs of rewriting from scratch is another question though.

Of course, the elephant in the room is that they likely couldn’t remotely stand to collaborate with hard leftists.

As to the grift take from @[email protected] , I once saw them post about new mod features along with a survey, and having heard that this was a major selling point looked into it all … and as I recall I saw little in the way of any new ideas or promises. Doesn’t mean that they won’t do well on that front. Piefed seem to have done some good things there. But there certainly seems to have been hype there.

I hope Sublinks will come out soon, but it's not there yet.

https://joinmbin.org/ and https://piefed.social/ are more complete alternatives
