Well, if literally everyone I’ve tried to get to sign up but it didn’t take are to be believed, it’s the tankies. I try to explain they can use keywords to at least limit it but by then they’re mad about me “hanging out at a nazi bar” and explaining “no they’re really more Nazbols” somehow just isn’t helping my case. Even when they give it a second shot (rare) they quit when they figure out “rule 2 be nice” means “you can’t say anything we don’t like even if you’re nice and we’re going to be insufferable cunts with impunity because our admins are hypocrites that back us.”
I wonder why Lemmy is losing active users 🤔

Instant judging based on first impression.
I can’t tell you how many conversations start with:
“LET ME GUESS…”
That and the constant holier-than-thou one-upping(which has admittedly gotten a teensy bit better, but only a little).
At this point Lemmy instances is just astrology for Linux users
You aren’t that wrong honestly
