"Tanky" and the perception of Lemmy. (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to make people aware of Lemmy on discord and Mastodon, but it's always met with resistance citing "the devs are pro authoritarianism tankies." Kbin seems to be picking up steam because of the developer baggage.

Do you feel like this negative perception will hamstring Lemmy's growth?

I'd argue that if the code is open source and the instances are independent, then the dev doesn't matter beyond merely the marketing, and the marketing will be affected by the rise of larger instances, like Lemmy.world.
