MODERATORS
 

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?

there is no affiliation beyond federation, are either of us here on lemmy.ml? or any of the problematic servers. what people are doing is suggesting that we are all tainted because we are on the same "network"

let me tell you about email.

this is education and marketing more than anything IMO

It's 100% marketing, which is what this thread is about, no? Lemmy.ml's moderation practices are bad marketing for the project as a whole.

def, and please dont take my tone as being directed, if anything the frustration is in once again needing to educate people on how the internet works like we did almost 30 years ago.

we used to have to explain federation every day to users, it was just how things worked.

so how to attach to people on these concepts? bad park and commons analogies go over heads
