I know it’s different (Lemmy isn’t supposed to protect your privacy) but are you familiar with Lenny’s lead developer? Interesting fellow, to say the least.
I joined this fief because it promotes itself as being about open source software, then I discovered the .ml actually stands for marxist-leninist and it’s not mentioned anywhere in the About (I don’t know how it works elsewhere, in my country it’s just an euphemism for stalinist, although .ml contrasts highly with the general disregard for “superstructural” themes, that are just labeled as liberal ideology around here). I keep hearing a lot of things of my lords and my fief’s censorship, although I haven’t witnessed/experienced it yet… I’m probably moving out of Lemmy completely when I have the time.
Lemmy is federated and not an OS. Many different clients also.
