The communities above are not managed by a project organisation (the only one I know if !librewolf), it’s just that until last week, lemmy.ml was considered the go-to instance for FOSS and Linux.
Network effect is here, I know it first hand as I’ve been busy posting to !linux to try to offer people an alternative to the lemmy.ml community.
But I’m not planning to do that with the communities above, and same for the other FOSS communities, because I have other stuff to do
The vast majority of people going to those communities just want a place with enough people to answer their questions on the topic. They are not going to organize a migration, most of them are probably not even aware of the issues with lemmy.ml administration (seems like the post got removed from lemmy.ml: lemmy.ml/comment/11606059)
I see where you come from, and I get it to an extend, but the vast majority of people are probably going to keep going to those communities without any change.
If someone wants to organize a migration of those above communities (the thread I linked above can be a starting point), feel free, but I wouldn’t count on it. And without an active migration, those communities will stay the reference for those topics.
But the article is total garbage, Firefox is totally fine to use. If you want something better, check out LibreWolf, it removes the telemetry, Sponsored sites, Pocket, etc. and adds privacy features. It also comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled. They even have an official Lemmy community: !librewolf
Is Lemmy.ml missing from the fediverse explorer?
I was browsing the fediverse explorer and did not find lemmy.ml in the instances list.
