Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

I did address the politics, lemmy is open sourced and the politics aren't injected in the code, and if you can't deal with the politics, go to kbin. It'll still be federated, so, I don't care really, but I can't imagine leaving lemmy because of what the devs do in their free time.

Privacy is non-existent on reddit anyway, just because lemmy is imperfect there doesn't mean it's any worse than reddit, and this is a public forum, there's no privacy anyway.

I didn't see those. My bad!

Completely agree. Just look at reddit's TOS. They own your data. Unfortunately, it still doesn't stop people from raising it as if reddit is a bastion of privacy and security.

Would you still hold this opinion if the Lemmy devs were outright fascists?

Yes, the code has nothing to do with anything.

There always the defederation option. There was no exodus from mastodon when fashy-twitter (gab) started using a fork as their backend. Everyone just blocked them. At least thats my understanding.
