This seems like it may be the root cause of the recent server issues, I had to guess. Probably a lot of federation issues if the .ml domains went down all at once. Probably why it's not that smart to use a domain owned by a (nominally) hostile foreign government, just saying...

Yeah, here's pretty good evidence for that. This is one of the admins of Lemmygrad, and based on the communities he runs alone it shows he is involved in the development of Lemmy. Further still, is this comment by him where he says he created an issue to be added on the Lemmy Github. The GitHub thread shows it was made by one of the two Lemmy devs.

That's definitely some of the clearer evidence that they are involved in the ownership of Lemmygrad. Also just noticed that the .ml domain sites are back online. Wonder how that happened?

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks for pointing me to that.

Still, AGPL and federation means that the entire ecosystem doesn't have to agree with his views or his direction when developing the software.

Anyone can post a GitHub issue, but if you scroll through the commit log, they do seem to have push access, or at the very least, get their PRs accepted often, same for Jerboa.

Yeah, it's a duo that develops it, so it's one of the two. And likely both that control Lemmygrad.
