I think it’s kind of funny, not sure if it was intended that way. Aren’t lemmings known for following each other, even if it is clearly not the right thing to do?

    Main developer (Dessalines) describe it as such :

    I fully embrace the lemmings thing lol. Definitely an afterthought, but someone remarked about how redditors always think they’re especially unique freethinkers, and call everyone else “mindless drones”, when they go along 100% with US foreign policy.

    We might as well embrace lemmings here as an ironic joke (especially because lemmings don’t actually walk off cliffs, that’s anti-lemming propaganda).

    That’s good enough for me and his efforts deserves acknowledgment 😌
