    We already have a capitalist, Lemmy. It’s called Reddit.

    Lemmy exists explicitly because of anti-capitalist sentiment, not despite it. Remember that politics is two separate spectrums, possibly more. Economic theory and governmetal theory are completely different things. My point is that it is their economic communism that birthed lemmy, and thier governmental theory is really not releveant to the software in the same way.

        I literally just described the difference between their governmental philisophies and their economic ones.

          Ok but they are administering and moderating their instance according to their political beliefs about a specific nation. They’re not defending China’s economic policies at Tiananmen Square or their notions on tariffs with Uyghurs. I don’t think you answered the question in the way you think you did.

            Literally, the only statement I made was that if they weren’t communists, they probably would not have made lemmy. A capitalist would have made Reddit. That doesn’t diminish their faults. It’s just pointing out that none of us would be here if they weren’t communist.
