As Reddit's enshittification reaches new heights their attempts to suppress attention for alternatives, like federated Lemmy, has the opposite effect as this Hacker News discussion shows.

So your "evidence" is 4 different links from a "competing" platform, all of which should be considered "one source" not multiple individual sources, one of which is a user post with no actual evidence shown or linked -- at least not in the body of the post, I didn't care to follow through checking the comments -- and an article from... Vice.

Not exactly what I would call reputable sources. I'm not DENYING what you're saying, I just don't see any specific evidence to support your claim. Just... Be mindful of what you're using as "source material" when you claim there's evidence.

There's other posts by the same user - which can be found on Reddit - where that person does confirm being the original dev. I'm also seeing other people from around the platform confirming it. I'm not saying that's 100%, but it does seem as if the genocide-denying Tankie lemmy.ml admin is one of the principal devs.
