This is good news. It does appear that the major Lemmy instances are ran by leftist groups politically and that most of their development comes from the left, which is their own right. I do wonder though if they will take actions at some point to try to censor instances that may disagree with them politically, whether it takes actions to simply disable federation with them or other actions in the software itself.

An instance of Lemmy is free to federate (or not) with other instances on the Fediverse. Each instance can have its own code of conduct. Seems good for everyone.
Censorship seems to be mainly a problem with rightwing outfits like Gab/Parler actively banning people who don't align with the groupthink.

Groupthink is less of an issue with the left, especially those that self-select into an avant-garde space like the fediverse.
