Not the person you were responding to but I went through your comments and all I did was waste my time. Really. I don't like wasting my time. I'm too old for that.
I did note a the picture on lemmy.ml but not much else. Some passive comments from the developer about wealth inequality among 100s of comments related to lemmy development.
The only link you provided (history of lemmy) has statements like:
"silicon valley surveillance-capitalist machine that commodifies users to sell ads and paid flairs, and propagandizes pro-US interests above all." (I don't think he's wrong about this)
"rise in anti-China posts that have hit Reddit lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism, which Reddit tacitly encourages." (As he continues, he seems so much more concerned about the actual racism and hate crimes).
I'm done here...
