Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

That feels like complaints about lemmy.ml specifically more than Lemmy as a software. There’s a few instances that defederate lemmy.ml out there.
it’s complaints about the developer (which are valid) who also runs lemmy.ml.
How much effort do you think Meta, Twitter, and Reddit put into getting open social media people to fight against themselves?
They can do whatever shit they want with their instance and believe whatever they want. The software they make provably doesn’t have any more biases than any other software. As long as that’s the case, I’m fine.
Maybe there’s something in the codebase that sends all our data to North Korea… who knows.
We do, because it’s open source
Have you read all the code though? Everyone assumes that somebody else will read every single file of the source code, and understand it all. Malicious code can be obfuscated.
Yeah, but it’s guilt by association. Think about how X is now. Its owner is an asshole, and that hurts the platform regardless of how many cool people use it.
