Lemmy.ml has fully went communist even their application needs you to copy paste a part from a communits book and that’s ok by me every politkcal group has their own instance and has the right to do as they wish . But they should really change their about from foss and privacy advocated to communist leaning .
For that you’d need enough developers to maintain a fork. And seeing how /kbin struggles to keep up, the Lemmy devs would have to fuck up pretty extensively for people to really move away.
While that is true i also meant as in there is nothing they can do to control what direction the other instances go in.
