As far as I know it was started by the original lemmy developers which made the software because they felt persecuted for their beliefs on normie social media. Lemmy just happened to be around when the reddit CEO decided to f up reddit so everyone started using it despite the creators not being well adjusted people.
Edit: just so I'm not misinforming here's what they said themselves about the origin https://lemmy.ml/post/70319

You're probably fine?! We all make mistakes and/or do silly things. It's part of the journey. And for example being a bigot isn't something to be proud of. But having the personal strength to get out of a situation like that, certainly is something to be proud of.
The Ted talk on this would certainly interest people.
