    So far every website owner I’ve had issues with has been a billionaire capitalist, I’ll give the communists a shot.

      and… lemmy.ml is just one instance in a lemmyverse of thousands.

      as has been pointed out, monthly commits to the software lemmy development repository are now primarily new contributors who likely have nothing to do with the original developers. lemmy hits the metrics for a healthy FLOSS software project because both lemmy (the instance software) and lemmy (the network) are much, much bigger than any one person or group of people.

      lemmy (as a free, libre and open network) is progressing pretty damn well, I think.

        Fun fact: “FLOSS software” means Free, Libre, and Open Software Software software. FLOSS software is sometimes abbreviated to FLOSSS software, which means Free, Libre, and Open Software Software Software software. Now, I am lying. But still, isn’t that a fun fact?

          DOH! facepalm

          my only defence is me trying to differentiate from FLOS “software firmware” (which, you know… is like… totally different, right?)… yeah! thats it! i’ll go with that!

          shall we finalize on “Free/Libre Open Source Software” then? thanks for the poke to reengage brain, internet friend.
