It seems to me they're saying Lemmy needs corporate backing to grow? Cause if they were so bothered by the opinions of the Lemmy devs they could simply use Kbin instead.

Well that or use an instance that isn't theirs, or doesn't even federate with theirs, or simply block theirs.🤔 I mean this is really throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I have no strong love for leninists/stalinists, and think they accomplish little other than making actual socialists look bad while not being socialist themselves. But I'm not that put off by them. They're generally fairly intellectually weak, and easy to maneuver around. Should you choose to interact with them.

They are talking about the people developing lemmy, not some petty fight with the admins of one specific instance.

The Lemmy devs have no power over instances they do not run themselves.

Other than writing the software that all of those instances use to stay up to date and in contact with each other, regardless of their federation status.

can't people just take the lemmy source code and make their own version of the lemmy api?
