This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.
The free software movement is actually inherently political. Much of modern digital infrastructure is built using tools / software that embodies collectivist ideologies. I would be very surprised if the Lemmy developers even claimed that they created Lemmy in some sort of apolitical clean room (not that it is even possible).
Any public action can be considered politics and I'm not asking for complete neutrality. The free software movement has freedom of the user in it's core philosophy. This is not necessarily the case of some radical left movements. So I'm hoping that the free software philosophy prevrails in the case of Lemmy's development.
