Hey yall! I suppose Iโ€™m slowly getting back to federated platforms and soon off of reddit. Is there anything I need to know before browsing thru piefed? I heard Lemmy has had some past controversies and i made a post via my lemmy.blahaj.zone account where the comments section got heated, so i decided to show up here on piefed.social. Not yet ready to instance hop yet as I heard some of these developments have been new. So catch me up, how does Piefed feel?

The devs stance on some political stuff is a problem to some people.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

They're pro kremlin/soviet communism sort of people or something along those lines.

I want to donate money to lemmy but the creators really do bother me. It's made it very difficult to separate the artist from the art.

Knowing people who were directly impacted by Soviet Russia and had family members disappear, makes it incredibly difficult - if not impossible - for me to knowingly give me money to supporters of that regime and its ideologies. I also had Ukrainian friends that moved back or stayed in Ukraine and disappeared. Imagining my donated money going to people who might then donate it to the Russian cause or spread Russian propaganda just... my friends could be dead and they support that?

Shit, now I don't feel so good. Hopefully my friends are still alive.

Donate money to your instance then

And/or the app you're using, if you do so.

Unfortunately, voyager only supports donations through Microsoft - that's a no-go. If they allowed donations through liberapay or opencollective, definitely.

Oh hey! That's good to know! It's not mentioned on F-Droid, so I never knew about it!

[-] Blaze@piefed.zip 3 points 1 week ago
