      It was created.

      The main lemmy developers host Lemmy.ml who are a bunch of Tankies advocating for Russian invasion of Ukraine, among many other horrible atrocities. Here is a helpful documentation of their problematic behavior: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

      Now, other instances which use Lemmy as a framework to build on are perfectly fine, for now, but it’s still bad to use a platform which garners support and funding from people for extremists and authoritarians. Which is why many people are making the move over to Piefed which is developed by different people than Lemmy.

        Jeez. I knew they were tankies but I didn’t know that they were deliberately leveraging their instance to put other instances at a disadvantage. I recently moved to piefed for an unrelated reason after a discussion about kbin, this place was said to have a faster rate of development.
