    Oh, okay but do the Lemmy devs really have control over who starts an instance? Isn’t this the whole point of the fediverse or do I have it wrong?

      Don’t the Lemmy devs and the Hexbears moderators have overlapping people?

      They don’t have control over instances, no. However they can deny tech support or delisting your instance with others across the fediverse.

            More censorship to Lemmy, ban by IP, and defederate any instance that doesn’t only post about politics, and take them to the court
