jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

    No, they’re not.

    how the developers handle certain types of content

    Doesn’t matter if you stay away from .ml.

    the behavior of its creator

    Kind of valid, but open source and open license negates a lot of that.

    how the sotware itself handles users’ privacy.

    You think anything else on the Fediverse is better? When you post something publicly, it’s public. Doesn’t really matter what the software does. If you don’t have End to End encryption, it’s not private.

      And they are. They have delisted Lemmy as a recommendation.

      It’s really bad PR. I don’t recommend Lemmy to people because of this shit.

      If their servers delete content you want deleted, yes.
