    No, Lemmy is the software. How can software be “communist”? How does it own the means of production" ? Seems an odd question.

    You can have instances that are run by folks that have a communist bent (thank goodess for that) or instances run by all sorts of folks and instances federate and talk to each other (and can be blocked) but that’s a separate thing.

        No, there are a lot of us who are quite left-leaning but abhor tankie-style communism. I’m personally more democratic socialist, though living in a country like Australia means that’s not just a pipe-dream.
