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.

They prevent incoming traffic from kbin. Sp, only leach kbin's contents, but not sharing back.

Some users accused developers as being tankies. Not sure how true this is.

Oh they're absolutely tankies, dessalines website is crystal clear on that. To me this is simply a test of the fediverse. If it works as intended, the devs political orientation shouldn't matter. We'll see.

Are we talking about the devs of Lemmy itself, or people specific to .ml?

[–] dot20 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

.ml is run by the Lemmy devs.

[–] assassin_aragorn 2 points 2 years ago

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up!

Oh that’s not good. That goes against the spirit of federation. I wonder what their reasons are.

Nobody knows for sure, but my guess is they blocked any request with "Bot" in the header, and blocked the "KbinBot" by accident.

Just a guess though.

I hope that’s just the case.
