The complaints are all over the place so likely coming from people that either A.) haven’t actually used Lemmy. B.) Used it for .5 seconds got confused and gave up. C.) Are just afraid of change and just wanna stick their heads in the sand…
But most of them center around how difficult lemmy is to use and how “communities are way too overbearing with the rules.” , that it uses the new.reddit UI, and that it’s run by a bunch of “tankies”
I do wish there was an old reddit option but tbh most pf the ui is pretty old reddit-esque.
Also I fell for the tankie bs pretty fast then realized that’s a bullshit reason to not join and I am trying my best to spread the word for Lemmy. Especially since tankie has become yet another buzzword who knows what it really means these days. I took it to mean pro-hong kong censorship, because that’s all I see.
What’s a tankie? My biggest concern is the fragmentation of communities due to multiple servers, so the numbers in any one server will always be smaller.
they’re complaining about us lemmygrad users, but we aren’t even the biggest instance anymore + the 2 recommended instances block us anyways so it’s a worthless complaint now
