Just remove yourself from Lemmy. This was started by racists and biggots.

There are alternatives, like Piefed.

These toothless petitions are nonsense. Sure, calling the Lemmy devs (plural, because both are basically the same racist and biggotted bunch) out is important, but this is a software created by them and used by them, petition makes little sense.

There's no one to appeal to. If using a software by them bothers you, simply move on.

I'm planning so, once I figure out a sane path to migrate a whole server without anything breaking.
