The problem is that lemmy.ml is the flagship instance.
It'd be different than saying, for example, r/TheDonald gave Reddit a reputation of being right wing. r/TheDonald clearly had no affiliation with Reddit writ large, while lemmy.ml is the flagship instance of the entire Lemmy project.
If you want to stick with lemmy, use lemmy.world - they're rising up.
have to have you try kbin on our instance - readit.buzz - ran by Universeodon.com folks
I'm on exploding-heads.com rn, and having a good time so far.
I've messed around with Kbin but the software's federation features aren't working that well, so I'm sticking with Lemmy for now.
Yay ๐
Seems weird that more Kbin instances aren't listed on Kbin.pub. You go there, and it seems like you have 5 choices of instances to go to.
That's because kbin is only like a month old, so setting it up is a massive headache.
proof the marketing works, reddit admins have supported right wing subs and backed brigading for years.
No, it's proof that a community affiliated with the larger project can affect the project's reputation, while a community unaffiliated with the larger project typically does not do so.
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
