This is a must-read post from an admin of beehaw.org on why they will not be forking #Lemmy. I largely agree with @Gaywallet@beehaw.org.
Lemmy may not be perfect. Perhaps it’s even problematic. However, it makes the world less worse than it already is — and less worse is better than worse.
That’s what’s important to me.
Now if Lemmy proves to be too much of a barrier, there is #Kbin. But since Kbin is so young, it’s not a perfect replacement for Lemmy either — though it’s turning out great.
My own goal is to facilitate growth of the Fediverse. For this, #SpaceHost will be supporting both Lemmy and Kbin.
