Having more users isn't going to help if the core developers are anti-diversity.

Lol, imagine being that fucking stupid that thinking that adding a slur filter to make the job harder for alt right and proud boys to create instances is antidiversity. Fuck you account42.

so in a nutshell, they forked Lemmy to something called "Lenny" because they wanted to use the n word? I have no words...

If you bother to check the instance Lenny was created for, you would've known that it's a Russian instance that largely post furry shit so no, they didn't create a fork because they "wanted to use the n word".

I went to the "flagship" lenny instance when this fork was created and (you are not gonna believe this) a large majority of the comments were flaunting not being censored by the now-removed slur filter.
