Lemmy has had a huge bias towards seize-the-means-of-production socialism from day 1, which is very important in understanding why it’s different from other reddit clones, and why it has unique features and anti-features. The political orientation is not incidental, it’s vital, and I’m glad to see it hasn’t completely died from the sudden influx of reddit-natives when the API thing happened.

Lemmy just is seizing the means of production of threaded forums and link aggregators. Means sized! We can all go home.

Good enough. We don’t need sleazy capitalists on here, the devs and server maintainers hake put and are still putting a huge amount of their time into this platform, totally unpaid. The least the rest of us can do is contribute as much as we can as our numbers grow.

I don’t think anything stops instances from e.g. running ads, or even charging subscription fees. The code is AGPL, and AGPL permits commercial use.

For a good part lemmy is seizing the means of production.

Lemmy IS seizing the means of production, where production is “doing stuff in a reddit like fashion”.
