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.

      Thank you for the information. Also I just found out lemmy.ml blocked my entire lemmynsfw instance, shutting me out of most of the content. I specifically did that to show support for sex positivity and not for porn. Seeing the fediverse in general tries to shut NSFW harder than big tech at times. The old, free tumblr was great.
