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.

You want people to understand, yet it seems you enjoy confusing statements???

Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy

Does this make sense only to you, who understands?

PSA This is a prostate specific antigen. Thanks for your educational post.

If you want people to understand then use plain English to lower the barrier of entry. Otherwise you're just going to be going crazy with all the noobs who haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

I don't think that's particularly confusing. It simply states that Lemmy.ml is just a part of Lemmy, they are not the same thing.

You state simply: Lemmy.ml is just a part of Lemmy.

However, the title states: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy

FYI also, not many people understand PSA.
