PSA: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Hmm ok. I've mostly been looking at news on lemmy.world and beehaw.org. There may have been tankie stuff on lemmy.ml that I didn't see.

I don't understand why there are so many lemmy news subs anyway. I begin to think this federation thing is just a single signon scheme for a bunch of separate forums. The fragmentation will likely make it impossible to catch up to reddit.
