Lemmy is looking quite good would saidit consider switching to it and also developing it instead?

https://dev.lemmy.ml/ So that is the one and only instance of lemmy, but they are working on federation currently. So that means anyone will be able to run an instance, including saidit. I don't like that instance or necessarily the developers as they are a bunch of thought suppressing leftists but they seem to be making good code. It's open source so anyone can take it where ever. I think if say saidit and a few other sites maybe like notabug joined in it would help make it better. As I see it now there is a lot of dispersion in effort over these platforms? Or are some developing the old reddit code collaboratively?

interestingly enough mastodon is also made by thought suppressing leftists but there are a lot of free speech activitypub instances anyway. in the fediverse the leftist instances just block all the free speech instances leaving us with two neighborhoods.

I would contradict you, but I don't want to share a link; don't want the free speech instances to become angry racist instances, which tends to happen if you publicise them on a place people banned from one of the Big Social Media Sites go. Saidit's popularity is a mixed blessing in that respect. If you want details, I can DM, but keep it fairly private please. (Person-to-person only, no sharing on big sites like this.)

When a load of intolerant bigots flood a site, they tend to push out everyone who isn't as intolerant. Saiditors will probably have noticed this mostly on certain Reddit subs, but I've noticed it mostly on other sites. A Mastodon instance where anarcholibertarians can peacefully coexist with tankies is a place I really don't want to destroy, even by accident, even if there are a few dozen such places so it wouldn't be that much of a loss.
