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.

LM here. I specifically condemn the actions of most ML nations. As well as most capitalist nations. Specifically Soviet Russia North Korea and China as far as the ML nations go. While I agree on a few small points. I believe that all those governments past and current. Of all the things they did that were good or successful. Are severely challenged by the negative things and the outright atrocities that they have and continue to commit. That none of those governments have the welfare of their people at their core. And would further say that any heavily authoritarian government is automatically bad regardless of economic ideology. So now you can see you at least seen one that hasn't. And that is also part of the reason why I am not on an ML subdomain.
