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 don’t think it matters. If people want to use Kbin instead, then great! It’s still a fediverse platform (even though they had to temporarily turn off federation), so we’ll still all be in the same pond.
