Good read, gives me a lot of hope for this project.
I look forward to an exciting future with all of you.

This was written by the Lemmy devs.
Sure, but as I said, I don’t see any of this as relevant as long as it doesn’t affect the platform.
You leave reddit because the ceo introduces shitty pricing but you don’t mind the main devs being literal fascists?
The project is open source and anyone can create instances, that’s why its irrelevant.
The way it works in practice is that the largest instances are where most people go. What is stopping those devs from imposing their views on the community, e.g. by censoring?
Reddit’s admins are taking decisions based on their worldviews and objectives that affect the content of Reddit, i.e. what we can talk about, what we can do, what tools we can use, what information we can access…
As of my current knowledge, the worldviews of Lemmy’s devs (that I certainly don’t share) don’t affect content on instances that they do not administrate or moderate. Even if they were building and shaping instances around hatespeech (which I don’t know they do), I’d simply block them and let the police and justice act on the potential crimes or offence they may do.
Girl calm down, please just take a step back. Maybe read up on communism or communists / the far left before blaring off takes like this. I’m not an ML and not a fan of them as an anarchist, but this is suchhhhh an overreaction to what they actually said.
Additionally if you don’t like the dev team, then fork it. Or volunteer to be on the core team. Submit some PRs. Start your own alternative. One of the cool things about having anticapitalists develop software is that it is open and you can do that. It actively does the opposite of what capitalism wants us to do. I think just that fact alone should make you pause and maybe reassess the language you’re using (Hitler and other fascists rose to power actively aided and funded by capitalists because it helped retain their power).

There is nothing that links to @dessalines@lemmy.ml there.

Ask yourself: what is this person gaining from spreading misinformation and trying to make people to hate Lemmy developers?
