I think it could be the "Tankie Devs" FUD coming into play. People don't understand the devs don't control anything other than lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml, if they start injecting BS code, we could always fork it.

But one "Devs are Tankies" comment would just scare the neolibs and centrists away. (conservatives are never joining, that's not just a dev PR issue, its the userbase being too "left wing" for them, also, I doubt conservatives care about corporations controlling everything)

I tried to mitigate that with a post a few months ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1fmuk7o/post_to_address_the_usual_criticism_about_lemmy/

I use it as a reference every time someone brings it up
