Okay but it is developed by authoritarian communists. I mean it doesn't have to annoy you, but it definitely annoys me.

I don't like the devs but at the same time it's not like they wield much power over users outside of the flagship instance, lemmy.ml. That's the nice thing about decentralized FOSS social media. Can even make a fork if they ever did something unpopular.

But they administrate their flag ship instance, which for a long time was the first instance new users registrated on, only to then see on what power trips the Admins are on. The missing separation of development of administration is literally the only critic point I have. If course, Lemmy is decentralized and that is a great thing. Over time, lemmy.ml already lost relevance and it will lose more as lemmy grows. But people tend to think "oh, so this is the official instance I better join there", just to then face opinions promoting North Korea or denying Russia's guilt in the invasion of Ukraine and so on. Check out the media bias in Lemmy.ml's news communities, it is insane.

Check !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for many examples.
