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?
Yes, it’ll hamstring the growth of lemmy. I’m currently using kbin instead and as soon as it has an app to use I probably won’t interact directly with lemmy. All simply because of the tankie baggage and I’m not the only one.
