I am not attached to Lemmy, I joined because from my perspective commercial American social media is not viable for me, it's equivalent to supporting/enabling those who wish you harm.
I've outlined it in other threads, so I'll just link to a few of them instead of repeating myself.
Thanks for sharing!
From my perspective, the best way to deal with toxicity (whatever that might be for a given individual) is to have multiple accounts and to have regular "time out" periods where you only use the non-politics accounts. This is of course not viable if you are a single admin.
Then there is the issue of making the most of a bad situation. Even though for me tankies are mortal enemies (including the Lemmy Devs), I see usage of Lemmy (well the Threadiverse) being a less worse choice than using American commercial social media.
With the Threadiverse, there is a weak light at the end of the tunnel. We may never get there, but it's there. On the other hand American social media is an intellectual, moral and even economic (I am actually serious about this) dead end. That's why I use the Threadiverse, although I am trying to slowly move off Lemmy to Piefed for obvious reasons.
Just sharing some thoughts in context of your very justified comments on the Threadiverse. I am not necessarily trying to change your mind or prove anything. :)
In terms of Lemmy Dev admins being the mortal enemies, piefed is up and kicking (I'm sure you know this)
EDIT: I see you do based on another reply by you.
