Is Lemmy really ran by neo-nazis?

I saw a comment somewhere saying the title and had links but I lost the comment now. One of the links was going to raddle.me which is a Reddit like site

No, it's run by tankies, not neo-Nazis.
- It isn’t run by them since the platform is open source. They run Lemmy.ml but other instances are free of their influence.
  
  They also run the project, unless someone is going to fork it. I'm not suggesting anybody does or being critical at all though.

The political views of the main devs are controversial but it doesn’t really matter since Lemmy is free and open source. No one owns or runs it. Only lemmy.ml specifically is run by the devs.
- What about privacy? Will the devs only get your info if you are a part of Lemmy.ml?
  
  I don't understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?

I haven't seen that accusation. There are some communists but no Nazis that I've seen. And I'll take a communist over a Nazi 200% of the time.
