Weren't they a tankie? I've heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don't have proofs myself.

They are yes. They're also admins of the oldest lemmy instances, lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml (ml stands for "Marxist-Leninist").

The important point is Lemmy is not beholden to them. By design.

If they fuck with something down the line, it can be forked.

Like how Emby's attempts to kill itself for profit birthed a fork that came to be known as Jellyfin, which now overshadows it.

Agreed... I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter so I don't give a shit, though.

Yep, they may be tankies but they have pretty decent values besides that, and if they ever do anything really bad with it there will be many people ready and willing to fork it.
