"Tanky" and the perception of Lemmy. (lemmy.world)

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?

Probably but it's a non issue for me. Don't interact with it and move on. There's shitty people in every facet of life.

I think I was having a quality discussion with some "tankies" last night about politics and philosophy. Not really sure what their thoughts on ccp were exactly as it was more a broad discussion.

I don't condone authoritarianism. Hell I don't condone most govt systems lol.
