The Discord-based "support" makes it a "meh." The main devs alt-right BS makes it a "hard pass."

Lemmy was created by a tankie, many of whose opinions I abhor.

As long as it's FOSS and doesn't inherently promote their beliefs, I will use the software.

I agree it's not great and I'd prefer if it weren't made by imbeciles

Tankies are annoying, but they're not on the same level as fascists.

TBH, it is very difficult to me differentiating between the different flavors of authoritarians.

Maybe someone can make an easy to understand comparison matrix? You know, "Kills people because they have a different opinion.", "Suppresses minorities.", etc.

There's basically ideologues versus hateful people versus indifferent sociopaths (overlap is common)

I consider political ideologues and "technocrats" and extremely pedantic rule-following bureaucrats to be different flavors of ideologues (has a specific worldview they try to enforce / uphold)
