Serious question: Since it’s a federated system that is open-source, what do their political views have to do with supporting the platform? Even if they decide to become Neo-Nazis and change it, the rest of use can continue to use the work they’ve made thus far and keep it like it is or improve on it. Our use of it doesn’t support their political aspirations either aside from their beliefs in federated social media.
They have the censorship hard coded in. Why mess with a compromised platform when there are better alternatives available that don’t include censorship and human rights violations?

It looks like the Lemmy devs might have some IRL issues.

Not if they’ve hard coded their censorship into the platform.

That hasn’t been the case for a while now. It also never truly mattered, the code is available for you to modify.
Really mad that I can’t say my favourite slurs on lemmy. Where can I be racist now?
