I have a lemmy.ml account and i didn't know that they were bad . I created this account after seeing that post .( I am not into politics as you can see if you visited the account i have put in my bio ) so is that true ?

-Ca. someone explain like what are the lemmy devs political stance ?

-Is lemmy as whole affected by it because i think the two main guys who hold all the cards are the ones with these opinions ,like do they have any control on lemmy as whole in anyway ? Or just the instance ?( I know if they are really bad we can fork lemmy)?

-Is feddit.ch good in these aspects ?

-Are they even really bad or do everyone have different opinions ? The things i consider bad and not polical stance are : for instance i just don't like trump because he is against t lgbt and being racist etc. Which are geniunly bad in my opinion and not just difference in opinions .

i know this is more than one question but please answer as much as i can and when talking politics talk like you are explainining politics to a five year old .
If this isn't the right sub i apologise please don't just down voat me to hell atleast explain where i should move it and i will do that
Thanks in advance will read each and every reply and updoot and reply as much as i can .

EDIT : And if they are that bad why aren't anyone forking it ? It's not like they are carrying the whole thing . Everyone is contributing .

Also if the dev's want to explain their sides i would like to hear it .

I really wonder where this thing about calling us tankies started, and why people still spread this nonsense. I certainly don't support the use of tanks against protestor, and never have. However I think that the working class and average people should get more power, and rich people shouldn't rule over us. Not sure how that is considered authoritarian.

In fact this is the reason why I work on Lemmy: to give average people more power, and not let a couple billionaires like zuckerberg or musk control over our online lives.
