Remember when people were critical of Lemmy because an instance admin could shut down and you'd lose all your account history...

    There's also a guy who says that Lemmy was created by a communist.

    Well, this time "at least it's not spez" works even if it's a fallacy.

    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.

    ML stands for Machine Learning and just became a popular domain for open source apps.

    Absolutely true even now. But Lemmy has good APIs which can be used to download all data. But the core idea is if you really want to have complete control over your data, just roll-out your own instance. Save the data for as long as you like.
