Many might not know, but the developers of Lemmy are communist tankies - and i’m not joking - that spread propagranda and misinformation. They for example deny the genocide of the Uighurs in China as it is a “hoax perpetated by the western propagandists”.
Now, we don’t know where the creator of Kbin stands, but hopefully they aren’t as controversial. As how I see it all the attention they are getting after the great Reddit escape is going to get quite a bit backtracked when all the tankie stuff starts to get a apparent and drives people away again.
Honestly I’d feel the most comfertable with something as close as possible to Reddit, like a one plattform company connected to the fediverse, instead of umbrella plattforms like Kbin, Mastodon, Pixelfed Etc.
But I am hopeful for Kbin and we will see over time where the Kbin creator goes. Luckily as it is the fediverse I can just jump ship to a different project if I see things going to wrong way lol

TL;DR: close affiliation with lemmygrad.ml and no moderation of content supportive of human rights abuses.
