At some point I have to start wondering if Putin pays these sorts of people.

    Well to me it’s important that the main lemmy dev blantantly removes anything questioning Russia’s imperialist war in Ukraine but suit yourself.

      I mean what implications would it have for Lemmy if their main dev became affiliated with possibly sanctioned Russian companies, probably wouldn’t mean good things for Lemmy as a project and since Sublinks is nowhere near there yet that could mean big problems for the Forums side of the Fediverse.

          The problem is being able to migrate existing instances to those, not just having other software available. Current instances can’t easily move over at the drop of a hat, for many it would straight up kill them to have to start from scratch. And as far as I’m aware Lemmy Database isn’t compatible with either so they’d have to start from scratch on the new software.

            Thank you for the explanation.

            Although there are existing instances of Mbin and PieFed that I would guess would not have that problem, bc they already have posts in their own respective formats? And any new Lemmy instance I thought would have the same issues - as in even if an older post would federate, the comments and votes that happened prior to that action would not (if I’m reading https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/1907501 correctly), plus even existing ones like aussie.zone seem like they can lose content if the backlog of bulk sending of actions does not get cleared within 7 days time.

            Still, it’s an excellent point about existing instances already running Lemmy not wanting to switch to Mbin or PieFed, but that could perhaps switch to Sublinks.

            Though individual users could move, and still keep posting to the same communities as they had been.

            Once a Piefed instance is mature enough, I could consider asking a few communities I mod if they would be okay to migrate to it.

            !casualconversation@lemm.ee for instance doesn’t really need to be able to edit past posts, and we already moved from LW to lemm.ee. Moving again to another instance wouldn’t be that different.
