"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?

Oh, this is not good. Now, I might need to pay more attention to this. I was just getting sort of settled into Lemmy, as well.

Using Lemmy is fine, don't be afraid to use Lemmy. We're just talking about how lemmy.ml's practices affect Lemmy's reputation.

I mean Lemmy itself is simply a program/network that connects to other pieces of itself. lemmy.ml is different to lemmy.world for example, even though they might feel or seem like one thing.

Lemmy itself is fine, people are more worried about the lemmy.ml moderation practices since it's one of the bigger instances.
