and leftist

Wasn't there some controversy a while back due to the political beliefs of the Lemmy developers and the instance they run (lemmy.ml)? Maybe I'm misremembering.

I think there are some that think their beliefs and moderating is a little too extreme.

  • Socialist: [exists]
  • Nazi media: "THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER"
  • Average person: "Huh. Guess they're my enemy now"

Yes, that they're too leftist and are apologists.
