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 never encountered the term “Tanky/Tankie” until yesterday, here, on Lemmy. I’m just trying out a bunch or Reddit alternatives and some fediverse stuff. I mean, some of the founders of Reddit aren’t my kind of people, and I’ve been over there since it was founded. If they’re not doing something extremely horrible, then meh.
It’s niche political drama, and it doesn’t really affect the development of Lemmy.
It’s a silly meaningless word
