Hi everyone. Another refugee from reddit here. What’s the drama with the Lemmy teams politics? I’ve seen a few people warn that they’re not great, but the only example that I actually saw was an argumentative back-and-forth in a github issue about filter lists for slurs.

It didn’t seem particularly damning to me.

    Is there any concern about the source code having some sort of monitoring capability? I’m not familiar with their codebase.

      No, I’ve been keeping a track of new commits and whatever their political ideology might be, their code itself is clean and professional.

      There’s a hard coded filter that won’t let you say the n word. I hope such evil communist censorship will convince you to use something other than lemmy.
