What are we going to do about it?

Sorry for the Google Translate Link. An easy alternative is much appreciated.

    Lemmy is decentralized. So very different.

    There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.

    In some ways yes in other ways no. The urge to hivemind and purity test everything is definitely the same however the ability to move to another instance and get away from a group of power tripping mods is different.

    Lemmy is essentially a collection of 2000s era forums that have agreed to share user accounts.
