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?

    So the way it works, is that we’re on a post from lemmy.world. Since it federates with both lemmy.ca and lemmygrad.ml, users from both instances can make comments on these posts.

    Lemmygrad doesn’t block lemmy.ca, so we can see their comments. Lemmy.ca, however, blocks us, so they can’t see our comments

      Ah thank you for the explanation. Just got here 5 days ago, so some of the fediverse things still are a bit confusing to me. But no matter, nice to have it written up anyway, I think some of the sources are pretty good to confuse liberals about their beliefs, so hope people here can use them.

          Well it is nice to write about politics without having 20 libs in my replies saying that I am supporting the death of the 86 billion people killed by Communism hahaha. I like it, it’s definitely better for my mood, and my eyes finally get to relax after having to roll them every time I scroll through the comments on Reddit.
