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.

Mate this is bordering on reddit debatebro shit where they go "hurrr that is a fallacy hurr". Talk to people like a normal human being and stop trying to "win" conversations. This is not a debate, and rules set out by ridiculous debate groups as a game don't actually change facts about Marx, Lenin or Einstein. Catching the other person and saying "HAR HAR that's sealioning!" 🤓 doesn't change history or academic topics. It might make you feel like a winner but it's fundamentally ridiculous.

Be more normal. There is literally nobody else here, it's you and me talking to each other, there is no audience for you to "win" to.
