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 really? That sucks. But if we’re blocked, how did @bionicjoey@lemmy.ca write in here through lemmy.ca? Did they just block us?
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 welcome! Hope you’re enjoying your time here :)
