His behavior simple - he bullies and insults people he thinks are weaker or that he can dominate (see: any US ally), and he sucks up to and praises people that intimidate him or, at the very least, he feels kinship with (see: Putin, Xi, etc.).

When I first heard of Lemmy, I curiously poked around, and at the time it was just lemmygrad and ml. Needless to say I backed out quickly. Glad it got some diversity with the api kerfuffle.
Probably, but it hasn't been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.
