I am ashamed to see these people appropriating Free (as in free speech) software. Software that empowers communication MUST frame itself as open and welcoming to people of differing political beliefs (within reason), otherwise it alienates more than it empowers. When the developers actively fund and support the largest server, and constrain that server to be of such a specific and notorious political bent that is completely unrelated to software freedom, their messaging is clear.
I’ve never seen anyone so mad about people using free shit for its intended purpose. Ancaps should be in the circus.
That thread is pure cope. Especially this:

For the developers of lemmy, that means no racism, sexism, etc. Which is far too “authoritarian” for redditors.
The mean commies won’t let me use gamer words and they sent me to my room
The funny thing is that this is exactly what Lemmy is doing.
Funny that they had no problem kicking us off Reddit though.
