It seems to have become a habit that most good things about the internet is linked to the EU. I'm really grateful. That being said, I hope that Lemmy can become a collaborative project uniting a lot of devs rather than rely on two people.

About the scandal; as long as their opinions do not influence the platform I don't see them as relevant to Lemmy. If they are illegal, let justice do its work.

...what scandal?
It appears that they support the CCP and deny the Uyghur genocide.
this may appear to you as an irrelevant detail, but... they who?
Sorry about the ambiguity. At least one of the main devs of Lemmy.
I saw someone else did a bit of research deeper down in the thread. It seems it's questionable but they at least "only" control like two federated instances, lemmy.world not being one of them. Of course, still not good to have someone like that in the dev team :/
i mean, there's only two people. they ARE the dev team for now.
yeah. not good at all, I'm not comfortable with it. I don't understand people who have access to information on the internet and deny anything obvious, no matter whether it's flat earthers, genocide deniers or ufo believers. how can a brain be this disfunctional?
