I like the website. I like the idea. I like lack of advertising and hyper-paranoia and consumer algorithms.

What I don't like is some of the devs describing themselves as 'communists' and 'anarchists.'

Extremism is never a good look, and the fact that Lemmys founders are... Definitely tickling that dragons tail is concerning to me

Where are the self described anarchist devs? I've only seen self described communism (and censorship of criticism of authoritarian governments on dev run instance.)

I'm struggling to find the post. I will link it later if I find it. Basically a dev saying the Lemmy team included communists and anarchists.

And huh... Suppressing criticism of authoritarianism is never a good thing. Big red flag
