What exactly is the point of lemmy? in c/[email protected]

This right here is the most succinct outline of OP's initial intent.

How do you get started with activitypub? (lemmy.ml)
 

After using Mastodon and Lemmy I got an idea for a web app that I want to make federated. I'm curious at what would be a good design path. Looking at Lemmy, it seams like you make a solid web app then make it federated. That's the path that I'm thinking about now. I'm just wondering about design considerations to be aware of ahead of time.

I like checking out new communities and instances as they pop up. I can't remember a single one that was created under the banner of "free speech" that didn't just turn into a gross space. I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm just saying that in my experience "free speech" is code for far-right abuse geared to the most vulnerable people in society. If I see a community that has "free speech" as their main point, I take that as a sign to avoid it. Then a while later I hear about how some far right group is active there.
