Because lemmy ml is controled by evil tankies who force freedom loving people to learn rust in order to develop the site

Why did they leave Reddit if they love capitalism so much?

Most go back to Reddit, the ones that stay are the "true believers" in whatever vibes-based ideology occupies their brainpan.

And then there are those who likely use both, but come to lemmy just to debate-me-debate-me ML's

their big idea is to make it so that instances they dont like have way less influence without technically shadowbanning them, the way one of the guys working on it explained it to me is that basically theyre making it so lemmy.ml users' upvotes are ignored by the algorithm and also their comments are put to the bottom on posts or something like that

They hate themselves. Even better is if you look at their repo is barely Java and mostly go.

To the point they had to ask for go contributors. So not only are they not willing to learn rust but they won't learn go
