Elsewhere in this thread it is said that Lemmy makers have "backwards principles" and trans would be better served by "piefed".

Elsewhere in same thread, Lemmy creators are "trans tankies".

who is in charge of these claims and how do they reach these conclusions? I want access to the Lemmy/Piefed tankie-trans wars, I must be in wrong subs

[earthshiptechintern01@lemmy.world]

Ditto! I'm now loopy. Never heard of it before today. Enjoying it (and getting incentive to brush up on German).

That's entirely possible, as it's closer to being the very public conflicts of like a dozen people. You could have blocked one user and inadvertantly insulated yourself from almost all of it.

[unknown1234_5@kbin.earth]

the ux is dependent on the app or webapp (usually tied to an instance) you are using, and mbin is the same ux as Lemmy like 90% of the time. there is only one mobile app (Interstellar) but its no worse than most Lemmy apps. i think the better federation alone would be enough to make it more popular if Lemmy wasnt the only thing being recommended for threads.

[doingthestuff@lemy.lol]

I noticed that too. I clearly don't know what the fuck is going on here.

[goat@sh.itjust.works]

Piefed was created because users weren't happy that the developers spend more time arguing on tankie talking points and censoring dissent than developing Lemmy.

[goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org]

There's even a user who manually mirrors stuff posted on ml because they hate the devs that much

[warl0k3@lemmy.world]

I'm not entirely sure what that means.

[goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org]

There are both comms that are hostile towards the devs and a specific user who's calling is reposting content AND attacking the lemmy devs

[yessikg@fedia.io]

I think https://peertube.wtf

[yessikg@fedia.io]

Peertube or Owncast

(I don't want to come across like I'm nitpicking because no, to be clear I'm genuinely interested in this.)

That many communities are hostile to the devs shouldn't be surprising, because unfortunately the lemmy devs are openly bigoted and most communities don't like that. And that's ignoring how Des is also a genocide denier and dismisses the human rights abuses of china while championing authoritarians (ex: their profile banner is currently an image of Mao), things many communities explicitly do not allow.

Without knowing which user you're referring to I can't speak to the scope of what they're doing, but a single user isn't exactly evidence of hate groups or hate communities specifically set up to target the lemmy devs. That's just reprehensible people being criticized, and then one potentially freak user taking it beyond what is reasonable.
