So for the start.
Lemmy isn't own by anyone its open source and open development
Even though the original dev might or might not be politically questionable, instances like exploding heads (literally nazis) and instances like lemmygrad (literally stalinists and genocide deniers) are here, polar opposites, if the devs would have had political intentions they could hard code it into the system, they didn't.
This is a forum, you post and write to the world, the world listens and doesn't forget, lemmy offers dms but also offers a matrix link directly next to it for safer communication. (there is no encryption so far because it would be completely useless for most things here)
The deletion of content is currently not sufficient, but they apparently work on that, but at the moment other things are more important for it to function properly (mod tools, script efficiency...)
This puts the words on what I was feeling but could not express. Thank you !
Forgot to add that there is actually no tracking stuff at all, just Session keeping cookies.
And those people that spread this misinformation about lemmy on reddit are even worse than idiots, reddit app has more tracking Software than fucking Facebook and same when we compare the browser versions.
