It can make sense when the project is small. The developer of a project can have a large voice and you might have to work with them. The massive growth of Lemmy and the federated nature makes the issue moot.
to a degree, lots of people stopped caring about linus’s opinion on things shortly after compiling the kernel the first time. A more recent project i was on had its creator run out due to him being too controlling the PR list.
at the scale of the fediverse the attitude really does surprise me.
