I'm not an American or live in the Western world, so I guess I don't get the controversy or the drama around Lemmy. The people in Lemmy seems like an ordinary bunch of people.

Flippin' eck, Tucker!

@sabbatical @newsorpigal @ernest I believe the developers, and so the original Lemmy instance, were Stalinist-style Communists and were very quick on the banhammer for anyone criticising their political worldview. In particular banning anyone who took Ukraine's side when the war started last year.

Obviously many good software projects have been developed by people with all sorts of questionable political views, but the Fediverse has a long memory and a lot of other servers distrust all Lemmy instances because of that.

That's the beauty of federation, right? If you don't like the moderation, you can just go to another instance.

I don't know. People keep saying there is one, but I don't see it.
