    Not so sure about supporting the devs lol, they’re actively tankies and vocal about it (hence why lemmygrad.ml is theirs and Lemmy.ml’s “ml” stands for Marxist-Leninist)

    lesser of two evils though.

      I must be out of the loop, what the hell is a tankie and why should I be worried?

        I think of them as the “actual” far left. Rather than people who want equality and free healthcare (who often get tarred with that brush).

        Tankies are a term historically used to describe people that supported the use of tanks to crush revolts in Soviet Hungary, but are now generally used to describe people who support the authleft and justify their policies, including stuff like Maoism and Stalin stuff (depends on the person of course). As someone from Hong Kong, I can definitely confirm that that isn’t the way to go lol

          Fair point. Maybe it’d be better to say support the development than support the devs.

          Seems to just be those 2 servers as the tankie servers. Although Lemmy.World seems to has taken over as “the” Lemmy server now. We can always fork the software and move on past the devs if they ever become a problem in development.

            I mean, even Lemmy.ml is fine mostly, they made an active choice to be more neutral on there which is why lemmygrad.ml exists. Agree on forking it if needs be though — I play modded minecraft a lot and the biggest modloader just got forked by basically all the devs cuz they were sick of the guy in charge

              One of the beautiful things about open source. Lemmy is bigger than the original 2 devs. Theres so many contributors now.

              Technic laucher for Minecraft was the shit, when I was playing with my friends. Minecraft comes in phases for me, I get really into it followed by a long period of not playing.

                Would recommend getting back into it! Minecraft mods have come a long way since — look up anything to do with the Create mod and you’ll be fucking amazed.
