Lemmy

This one’s obvious to us all but I think it’s fitting.

Why’s it called Lemmy?

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game.
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

Lemmings have a reputation for mindless groupthink, due to the unfortunate myth that lemmings are prone to jumping off cliffs. Lemmy is similarly misunderstood as a platform where strict ideological alignment is mandated and dissension is banned, but by and large the majority of moderation action on this instance is against spammers.
