I like the idea behind Lemmy. But before the front-page was taken over by reddit-bad posts, you could see that the flagship instance lemmy.ml is largely used for pro-russian propaganda. And the main developers who also run the instance seems to be very OK with that. I honestly would have issues working with such a person.
from my experience, the tankies are (mostly) coming from @lemmygard.ml, not lemmy.ml.
not everyone's cup of tea.
Beehaw excludes that instance and has strong moderation for safe spaces. it's a lovely space. Lemmy.ml is more open, but is not as tolerant to assholery as lemmygrad.ml. and times are... fluid at the moment, so nothing now is how it will be in a day or a week or a month.
Stay tuned, and best wishes
