    It’s a shame to see that people think of Lemmy creators as some sort of villains.

    I created my account on .ml before the Reddit blackout, but there wasn’t much content there, so I didn’t use it much. I properly started using it after the “Reddit blackout,” and that’s when I learned about the so-called “tankie problem.” I’ve met people with weird opinions, but the developers and Marxists in general aren’t bad people. People just usually make a strawmen to argue against.

    Anyway, none of their opinions are reflected in the software. Lemmy is done in a truly democratic and user-respectful way, and I respect them for it.

      Those guys aren’t Marxists, they’re mentally unstable Americans with a fetish authoritarianism.

        The Lemmy devs? I’d suggest to read what they actually write. The are good guys.

        But I also don’t think it matters. For example, I don’t really like the behavior of the Duckstation dev (PS1 emulator). But I don’t have to agree with him in order to use it.
