The main lemmy developers host Lemmy.ml who are a bunch of Tankies advocating for Russian invasion of Ukraine, among many other horrible atrocities. Here is a helpful documentation of their problematic behavior: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

Which is why many people are making the move over to Piefed which is developed by different people than Lemmy.
