I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

The admins of one instance and the devs of the whole platform
It's FOSS, so fork it and host it yourself or find someone else you like who has/can do so. I don't personally think it's too surprising that this free (as in freedom) platform was created by and initially attracted leftists and anarchists, and even if it is, I think it matters far, far less than everyone seems to think it does.
Serious question: Since it's a federated system that is open-source, what do their political views have to do with supporting the platform? Even if they decide to become Neo-Nazis and change it, the rest of use can continue to use the work they've made thus far and keep it like it is or improve on it. Our use of it doesn't support their political aspirations either aside from their beliefs in federated social media.
They have the censorship hard coded in. Why mess with a compromised platform when there are better alternatives available that don't include censorship and human rights violations?

Not if they've hard coded their censorship into the platform.

That hasn't been the case for a while now. It also never truly mattered, the code is available for you to modify.
Really mad that I can't say my favourite slurs on lemmy. Where can I be racist now?
