That’s probably true, but it’s worth noting that not all of the Rimu controversy is coming from tankies. I’m arguably pretty “moderate” for the fediverse and I and many others like me also find their conduct and software worthy of concern.
The way I see it, our options are this:
Lemmy, a neutral software developed and ran by people with some questionable politics that they keep separate from but hosted on Lemmy.
Or Piefed, a software with ideology built directly into it developed by people with probably much more palatable politics (for me at least) but who believes said politics should be systemic in the fediverse.
Tbh, I don’t 100% love either of these options, but I have no interest in trading overbearing corporate nannys for a homegrown farm-to-table nanny. I’m an adult, I don’t need or want somebody else dictating sensibilities for me.

So Lemmy it is.
