I’m not trying to tell them how to think. I’m trying to grow their platform

I think the part you are missing is they only want ml platform growth from users they don't see as being impolite or bigoted towards the political apparatus of China.

This isn't in the nature of an "excuse", it's an explanation. The fediverse isn't the old model where a company serves the public.

In terms of responsibility for tech itself, when the reddit exodus to the fediverse began, a number of people saw the Lemmy dev committment to marxist leninism as antithetical to the views they themselves wanted to espouse, and opted for other ActivityPub tech like Miskey, Mastodon, or Kbin instead.
