I saw a comment somewhere saying the title and had links but I lost the comment now. One of the links was going to raddle.me which is a Reddit like site

I haven’t seen that accusation. There are some communists but no Nazis that I’ve seen. And I’ll take a communist over a Nazi 200% of the time.
Seconding this, it just doesn’t seem to have that kind of vibe.
No, it’s run by tankies, not neo-Nazis.
It isn’t run by them since the platform is open source. They run Lemmy.ml but other instances are free of their influence.
They also run the project, unless someone is going to fork it. I’m not suggesting anybody does or being critical at all though.
Which is why I’m on Kbin instead, frankly.
Another conservation I had recently said that lemmygrad is apparently run by communists and harbors tankies. If I had to venture a guess, whoever wrote what you saw doesn’t understand the difference between nazis and communists, and that’s where it’s coming from. Or maybe there’s also a nazi instance here somewhere, but as long as you’re not part of their instance or an instance that federated with them, you won’t see any of that shit

See one of the two devs’ essays here for his political views: https://github.com/dessalines/essays
Having said that, you’re free to join a different instance (like the one I’m commenting from), if you have issues with that. I haven’t personally noticed anything actually problematic though.
Edit: quick answer -> definitely not neo-nazis, and probably not relevant either
No you’re thinking of twitter
Apparently “a few” essays on communism is thousands of links and articles.
I found the link in my history https://raddle.me/f/lobby/155371/warning-lemmy-doesn-t-care-about-your-privacy-everything-is
The only data you give them is stuff you post on there. If it’s sensitive information, don’t post! I mean, obviously your stuff is going to get stored in the instance you post on. If you don’t think whoever running the instance should have that info, don’t give it to them!
The political views of the main devs are controversial but it doesn’t really matter since Lemmy is free and open source. No one owns or runs it. Only lemmy.ml specifically is run by the devs.
What about privacy? Will the devs only get your info if you are a part of Lemmy.ml?
I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?
Look at my other comment with the link. It’s saying that even if you delete your account the only thing that happens is that you can’t access it anymore but every comment and data is still in the database
What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.
This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.
This is how every website on the internet works. It’s why they say everything is permanent on the internet.
If you don’t want it there don’t post it. The internet is scraped and copied and backed up. You can ask for it to be deleted but the company likely doesn’t own every copy.
As others have said, so what? It’s decentralized platform. If you don’t want to interact with them, then don’t. Nobody runs lemmy. It’s a collection of instances communicating with each other. That is the beauty of it.
