I heard of kbin too and on paper, it looks like a viable alternative. But as you've said, Lemmy is (as of now) more robust, and getting Reddit users to switch to something even less mature seems like a hard sell. With the Reddit blackout coming soon, Lemmy is just in the prime position to grab all the refugees, most of which will probably never find out about the main devs.

That is the one thing that still makes me unsure of whether I should fully support Lemmy or not. I know how the federation works and that those communities can be easily excluded, but what is off to me is that the two main devs of Lemmy itself (and the Android app) are themselves tankies.
Cute :3
I think he is well past the point of just "dislikable", the guy is just straight up malicious
Na, dann werden wir halt gebannt, und dann haben wir noch mehr Grund hier für content zu sorgen, win-win!
Exactly, bring in the shitposting and porn subs and Lemmy will flourish.
Must be all those avocado toasts!
Ich fühle mich den Feuer immer besonders nahe, wenn ich im vierten Stock meine Heizung einschalte und dann im Keller vollautomatisch ein kleines Gasfeuerchen angeschmissen wird, das ich noch nicht mal sehen kann.
Be the change your want to see, open up those NSFW boards! 🍑
I would generally agree, but tolerance should not extend to the point of accepting genocide denial and defense of clear-cut authoritarianism. See here for the general concept.
Tankies make the (imo) correct assumption that the US (or the west in general) engages in imperialism and is responsible for a huge amount of problems in the world, in addition to general atrocities, but then somehow decide the everything and everyone that opposes the US is perfectly fine and does no wrong. It's baffeling.
