    I meant like capabilities to influence the platform as a whole, like backend stuff, potential censoring past their instance

      Ah, it’s possible, but unlikely thanks to its open source nature

      It has been suspected though that .ml is running a slightly customized version to help hide their censorship, but I have only read of accounts of it happening to others and no direct evidence

      If they do something to the source code, I’m sure someone can just fork lemmy and we just use that.

      Otherwise everything is hosted on separate instances so no.
