Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

It's just software. And it's open source. That's about it. Don't like the software? Fork it, or just don't upgrade.

The Lemmy devs get no say in administration, other than the instance they run. Don't like Lemmy.ml? Run your own. They actively encourage other communities with competing world views to do so.

The fact is that despite being openly supporting communism, the Lemmy devs have done more for the online free market in two years than the tech giants have done in decades. This speaks volumes.
