The person who runs it doesn't recommend Lemmy because of the political opinions of its main developers.

Kinda funny now given that Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.

"People pressed into slavery to deliver takeaway" is the kind of dystopian that fiction can only aspire to. Christ.

Writing shit on public toilets is one of humanity's great pastimes.

Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:

AI will also process and condense reports from hundreds of public consultations held by ministers. The drafts will be verified by staff to check sources and catch inaccuracies.

Ah, so it's not going to actually alleviate any work for civil servants. Instead they have to sift through and correct a bunch of AI hallucinations, on top of their normal duties. Marvellous.

Fanfics are 100% copyright infringement, there's no fair use/dealings defence of them. There's just little point for corporations to go out and enforce their copyright, fanfic authors likely don't have much money and it'd be a PR nightmare.
