i still think lemmy will see more adoption if there comes a hard fork. or, really. piefed and mbin might supplant lemmy as being the backbone of the threadiverse as their development continues.

the other possibility is for neutomic and dessalines to step down as maintainers and hand the project to someone else. i see this as unlikely though as they give the impression that their authoritarian communist politics is the entire point of working on lemmy for them.

i guess we’ll wait and see, but for now there’s no way i could see myself donating money to neutomic and dessalines even if my admin took their software and created something good with it. they are simply too vile and dangerous. the threadiverse is the future of reddit-like discussionboards, but i can’t bring myself to view lemmy as the future of the threadiverse
