Dessalines makes a relatively good piece of software for completely the wrong reasons, but he won’t stop us from using it for our own purposes and we don’t have to acknowledge him as the “leader” of the community just because he runs the software project. That said, I’m also glad we have alternatives like Piefed, in case he tries to enshittify us out, we have alternatives.
That’s what I appreciate about open source software…People are free to make our own alternatives and connect with others using that software and infrastructure! We aren’t trapped by any means and can migrate to the growing alternatives. I’ve latched on to fedia.io and Mbin which is actually a stable version of Kbin (the original creator was going through it and need to take time off). I can connect with Piefed users from here, so there’s no reason to make an account there (Fediverse rocks for this reason).
However, my reference to Dessalines was more about tarnishing the creation known as Lemmy with his mad ranting about falsehoods and other tankie nonsense. He’s just a flawed person that is still sleeping, desperate to avoid the truth and glaze countries that are the worst to their people and others in the world. Likely knows that if he pushes it further, by limiting the use of Lemmy it will come crashing down. Somewhere in the fever dream that traps him, sense still exists.
