      For starters everybody shapes narrative regardless of they are aware or not. We all have a narrative, and in that sense I agree with you.

      I dont agree that controlling posts is their primary method of shaping the narrative. Rather it is the authoritative voice of being the engineers of lemmyspace. They are obviously authorities on Lemmy dotMl, but they are not authorities on other hives. However they are naturally going to bind masses to their main hive through Lemmy dotWorld and other hives that choose to align, thus making a bound hegemony through samhive.

      Lemmy hives who want to distance themselves from this bound hegemony can unbind themselves to make their own samhives. But their construction will still be a construction of tankies causing a weak tanky hegemony.

      Because of this, lemmyspace has a tanky shine.
