Who said this is a communist platform?
It was literally created to be reddit without the capitalism. You didn't think what the implications of that meant?
It's a federated platform... it can be whatever the instance hosts want it to be.
I don't think the average person cares about the FOSS principles that the instance software was built upon, they probably care that it just works and receives updates. People will come for the content.
Not how FOSS works. If devs tried that, lemmy forks and splits, basically defederating but more steps and more pain/forced defederating as people choose between two camps.
Nobody. You're the only person trying to define what platform you believe lemmy to be.
Liberal westerners and crybullying, name a more iconic duo that isn't crackers and misquoting failed philosophies of non-violence
