Lemmy.World wins control of Lemmy project in out-of-court settlement: "This was never meant to be a hotbed of extremism"

In a brief statement published on Github, the former project lead apologized for the "illiberal post-truth allowed to run rampant", and expressed hope that the new management could finally "bridge the divide and heal our discourse".

The erstwhile dev also denounced, "in the strongest terms", efforts by some users to "harass, malign and unsettle" the Lemmy.World team that allegedly involved photos of a pig defecating on its own testicles.
