Understand that the Lemmy devs do not have ultimate power over your instance, and that your instance admins may feel very differently to them
Comment on Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children

You know, I came to lemmy because I was disgusted with the reddit admins and devs. And this shit just is not helping.

The difference here is that these people aren’t really running the show. They’re in charge of the main development branch, but that’s just back end code, and it is (or should be) reviewed by every admin when they use it to implement their instance. Development can be adopted or forked by other people, should politics get in the way.
It’s the morals of your own instance and its admin that are most important, these are the ones synonymous with reddit’s staff. In fact, it’s possible for the instance to put whatever code they want up. It can easily be non-standard to official lemmy, so you really are trusting them rather than the main lemmy devs.

Joined two hours ago, and this subject is literally the only thing OP has posted about, on four different forums.
Is it too much to ask for minimum requirements for posting in a community?

IMO believing that someone’s work can become tainted by their beliefs is a form of magical thinking.

For the most part, Lemmy instances are separate from the developers. But the great thing about ActivityPub and the fediverse is that we can move platforms and keep the same content. Kbin can subscribe to the same communities that Lemmy can.

Yeah, this is one of the best parts of the fediverse. It's not just another plattform like Reddit. It's a bunch of Plattforms of various services, even Lemmy is just hundreds of small Reddits that connect to each other. Meaning we are not beholden to one person like on Reddit to participate in the fediverse.
