jointhefediverse.net - Why was Lemmy removed from the list of fediverse alternatives? (github.com)

jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Yeah you're right of course, it is censorship. It just happens to be positive. Although, I'd argue that maybe it isn't based on political or religious views, rather on not wanting to give someone a bad impression of the fediverse and make them leave again? As in, self-serving interests?

The main argument I see against Lemmy devs is that they're "tankies", which is most certainly political. And I agree. Except that there's nothing in the software itself that is political. Only the devs, and many of the .ml communities and users.
