I began recently in Lemmy and your community was one of the first I've come through here. Congratulations for the good job ;)

I have to agree 100% with you. Mainstream social media became a tool and expression of people's frivolity and showing up their makeup happiness in their miserable lifes, and the first sign of such behaviour is a narcisistic one: "all is about me, everyone should look at me and everyone should agree with me". And the last part is quite problematic, specially in Lemmy, where there are contents, opinions and point of views averse to the normie and cringe mindset of our modern society that force a fake positivity of values where paradoxically everyone can do and say whatever they want, but at the same time they should fit into a fluid notion of what right and wrong means.
I am in no position to ask your question because I dont have the technical knowledge about how Lemmy works within, but I can share my perception of what happens in all internet medias: You are only going to see how truthful the platform is when the owners get a court demand or law enforcement at their doors.
Until this point you can hear a lot of sweet speech of defending freedom, protecting privacy or piracy advocacy, but when the police is involved is where things get problematic.
