I have seen that the lemmy.ml mods will openly ban discussion about the CCP. I am wondering if the sh.itjust.works team allows criticism of government bodies, while still banning racism.
It's from the people developing Lemmy the software, not the creators of independent instances like this one or lemmy.world and many others. I think there's not much to worry about since the software is open source and if they start to "leak" their ideologies/politics into the software (no idea how ๐), people will fork it quickly.
However I worry that this is so off-putting to some people that they stop doing anything to help Lemmy grow when they learn about the developers' politics. A good example is Lemmur, an Android app for Lemmy, whose author stopped further development on it, due to "lack of interest and political differences", which is sad.
