Lemmy
https://join.lemmy.ml/docs/en/index.html#whys-it-called-lemmyThis one's obvious to us all but I think it's fitting.
Why's it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
Lemmings have a reputation for mindless groupthink, due to the unfortunate myth that lemmings are prone to jumping off cliffs. Lemmy is similarly misunderstood as a platform where strict ideological alignment is mandated and dissension is banned, but by and large the majority of moderation action on this instance is against spammers.
