This is going to be why Lemmy doesn't take off long term.
I donβt think it will keep it from taking off, but I am not sure that all the most popular communities should be on lemmy.ml.
I appreciate that the devs/admins for the most part do encourage dissent.
Idk would you sign up to a place you'd heard was run by tankies? I sure wouldn't.
Good thing most instances are run by other people, then.
Doesn't matter if most people here "run by tankies" and don't understand federation.
I mean, reddit's CEO used to mod that sub. Reddit and redditors were still fine after it blew up. Why are there different standards? The sub may have been banned already, but I doubt spez has changed much. Reddit admins have gotten away with a lot like editing comments, refusing to ban certain subs until there was media coverage, etc. Personally, I haven't encountered any censorship due to political affiliations (yet). And if it happes, I'll change instances.
They don't control the fediverse just as much as they can't control which instance I join/create.
