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?

        The users from certain other instances are talking about it nonstop and trying to make it a wedge issue, so it’s not surprising

      To be fair, while they might not know the term, encountering someone unironically defending North Korea or such probably would still make one uneasy.
