   #LemmyFork

   (1/20) IMPORTANT UPDATE [1]
   Reasons for #Lemmy's removal:

   I have removed my indirect endorsement of #Lemmy as a substitute for #Reddit.

   The developers have a very dubious stance towards human rights and do not object to people celebrating #Stalin's birthday, a man who directly and indirectly killed 6-9 million people.
   Besides, they apparently are die-hard communists, supporting the #Kremlin (#tankies):

     ...Serious #DataPrivacy issues regarding #Lemmy:

     It has come to my attention that #Lemmy is seriously careless with user data:

     "WARNING:

     Lemmy doesn't care about your #privacy, 👉everything is tracked and stored forever, even if you delete it👈,"like #Musk's #Borgsite.

     "...it's visibly worse for privacy than even Reddit."

     "1.) 👉Deleted comments remain on the server👈 but hidden to non-admins,..."

     ....👉the username remains visible👈

     2.) Deleted account 👉usernames remain visible too👈

     3.) Anything remains 👉visible on federated servers!👈

     4.) When you delete your account, 👉media does not get deleted on any server👈.

     Since the 👉operator and developer of lemmy has very problematic politics (defending genocide and homophobia👈 for example), and is demonstrably 👉incredibly..."

     "...hostile to non-authoritarians,👈 giving him permanent access to your data (even if you delete your account) is a very bad idea." (2)

     Disclaimer:
     As I have not used #Lemmy myself, this warning is based on the sources named.

     Furthermore, if you are running an instance in the #EuropeanUnion, #Argentina, or the #Philippines, you might be 👉in breech...

     ...of the fundamental #RightToBeForgotten👈 and therefore liable:

     And even if your #Lemmy instance were based any place else, it would be a 👉serious breech of the trust your users vested in you .👈

     My opinion: completely hands-off #Lemmy, unless there is a #fork.

     UPDATE 2 on #lemmy

     Many people seem to agree not to use the #Lemmy developers' own servers.

     Regarding the software itself, there are new discussions going on.

     Due to the big interest in an alternative to #Reddit, there is now a discussion of having a #fork from #Lemmy to dissociate with the authoritarian-leaning Dev team.

     As I have just been informed, the programming language Rust seems to have advantages...

     ...over PHP (#Kbin).

     This might be possible, as there are now new developer resources available, as there is more interest in such an approach.

     If you are a Rust developer, please share your thoughts on this in this convo, if you like.

     PS:

     I would like to share a point of view regarding software development, which I share:

     "Tech is only neutral on a very basic level. 1s and 0s are neutral.
     But a software reflects the way it's developers think. How does it handle privacy? How does it handle data security? How well does it support federation? How fine grained and effective are the moderation tools? How much control has the individual user over..."
