  • Lemmy.ml devs own the repo, it’s just licensed as open source software under the GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. You can read the license in the repo files. So you can fork off it and run your own instance. If you go to GitHub.com/LemmyNet you see the two people who are members of the project, with the accounts, both have Fidel Castro avatars.

    Personally I think having a bunch of socialists run the software, is by definition the best way to have it avoid corporate interests.


  • Seriously, if you don’t understand the politics of the lemmy devs, you’re functionally not understanding the point of lemmy. I think people believe in more socialist ideas than they’ve been lead to believe, especially with the rampant conflating of “leftists” in media to mix it with liberals as a tactic from the right. Lemmy is inherently political, and that’s a GOOD thing.


  • Honestly a lot of Marxism would absolutely have a lot of criticism of NATO, US, the “west” how they have handled the situation and got us here in the first place. But that doesn’t give Russia a pass for invading a sovereign nation.

    Under Marxism this is basically a bullshit neoliberal capitalist power structure vs an oligarchic Imperialist POS.








  • There is absolutely no way Russia is willing to pay reparations unless Moscow is occupied, and we have bigger problems if NATO is so bold as to escalate the situation that far.

    All this does is give Russia State media more ammunition to form their narrative that the west is trying to destroy Russia, and escalating it into an existential conflict for the Russians. It’s incredibly irresponsible for them to be saying stuff like this in my opinion.
