Too many people are confusing the two. Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid, people go "Lemmy is getting worse and worse," or "I'm leaving Lemmy," or worse, "I'm leaving for Beehaw."

If you're using Beehaw, then you're using Lemmy. Lemmy is the software these instances run on. If you don't like lemmy.ml, join another instances that have rules that match your philosophy. Some instance hosts authoritarian or fascist shit? Turn to another Lemmy instance. Lemmy.ml is not even the biggest instance. People who just joined and are unfamiliar with the platform will just think the entire Lemmyverse is run by autocratic admins if we don't get our terminology right.

Nerds rescuing defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Exactly. It's not a flaw, it's a litmus test. If someone is not willing to figure it out, then they're probably not the kind of people most would like to have a conversation with in here.

lol you’re not wrong, having a filter of sorts will keep the zombies out for a while. People forget that Reddit was at its best when it was a smaller website.
