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.

I like the sh.itjust.works lemmy because of the name.

Also, apparently they're run with 99% renewable energy which is pretty cool.

I actually hate it because of the name. I can't be the only one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The name is the reason I picked it. Just for the lulz. And apparently the name was picked by the community, which puts it in the same category as Boaty McBoatface, so I'm not too surprised it's rather silly.

Yeah, it's the only issue I have with it. good thing federation means I don't have to actually go there to see the content haha

in the past 10 minutes i have had so many mixed emotions towards you.

I have come across your comments about 7 times and each time I either feel like fking you up or giving you a hug.

It's interesting how opinions of different people may differ or align depending on the context. Wars don't really matter if you think about it this way..

I propose a truce

I propose a truce

meanwhile them, probably:

I don’t even know who you are.

ikr... I'm sitting here developing a love-hate relationship with someone who is completely oblivious of my existence

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I feel you! Like seriously! I feel the need to add it as my primary link. I was planning on building my own, just because I can, but now... I don't know. I am so confused.

Fuck war, it's hell on Earth.
