        Capitalism drives dependance tho. Not a socialist but capitalism is terrible as well. Lemmy is created by free software and open source software enthusiasts. This means that code is public, its for everyone, and anyone can use it woth or without modification.

        Some people think this is communism

          So much this. Capitalism does not provide innovative solutions. Capitalism is the idea that there is only one, universal solution to any problem: throw money at it. The fundamental objective of capitalism is to invent new and innovative problems to fit that universal solution.

          One of the devs has a guide on how to get into communism and which books to read on their GitHub. People think lemmy is communistic because the devs are.

            One of the devs

            People have very different opinions. The free software dev communities consist of many weird people as well. Many autistic ones, having other mental issues, and some sane people. But in the end all that matters is the software that they create. They are open and visible. Thoose people can’t be corrupt like the proprietary corporations(facebook, google, reddit) as the anyone can see what the software exactly does. If the software does the job without tracking or doing malicious attempts on you like facebook or google, then its really good

          A robust and non-ideological non-profit sector is key to any form of healthy capitalist system. That should be an agreeable statement to anyone regardless of if they like or hate capitalism.

            There are two main reasons that evangelicals oppose government social services. One: Communism bad (well, “socialism bad” now because they have to poison the well against European democracies now that USSR is gone). Two: If the government helps people, people will be less likely to seek help from evangelical organizations, which eliminates a huge way to market Supply Side Jesus to people. Eating in to evangelicals’ ability to proselytize compellingly is therefore a non-starter.

            Community property is also a feature of capitalism (the form of it in the USA).

            Police stations, public parks, classified documents, national/state parks and conservation areas are examples.

            I think ‘community property’ is a byproduct of having a functional community.

        It can be both. You cannot argue that Lemmy is devoid of echo chambers.

      You know people can have strong ideals and still have the humanity to help people who may disagree with them? Not everything is run by political ideology.

      That’s not how it started, Lemmy started way back from r/redditalternatives with Ellen Pao fiasco.
