Siding with product sellers / advertisers has been their clearly announced trend in 2023. The whole API thing was because they didn't like other apps running independent advertisements.
Core components... like operating systems and engines... this was the whole reason people open sourced in the first place. You start getting it in millions of devices and it is too much power for closed-source closed-license. The GPU drivers and WiFi drivers are often the ones who pave the paths away from open source.
The developers of Lemmy have been questionable for some time
They also seem obsessed about deleting/purging content and keeping Lemmy postings off of Google Search... Lemmy servers have been online for over 4 years and even on their beloved topics (Rust, communism, etc) it would almost never come up. It's as if they think they are building private e-mail or dating service instead of public forum. Which is entirely against the idea of their self-proclaimed love of communism and copyleft stuff... why not have everyone agree to a creative commons license of their content/contributions like Wikipedia when posting on a public forum...
