Lemmy has had a huge bias towards seize-the-means-of-production socialism from day 1, which is very important in understanding why it's different from other reddit clones, and why it has unique features and anti-features. The political orientation is not incidental, it's vital, and I'm glad to see it hasn't completely died from the sudden influx of reddit-natives when the API thing happened.

For a good part lemmy is seizing the means of production.

Lemmy IS seizing the means of production, where production is "doing stuff in a reddit like fashion".
