It literally does though. I stopped telling people that I use Lemmy as a result. When some instance defederates from ML and establishes itself as being solid, I’d love to tell people irl that I use that.
If you are trying to say not to paint people with too broad of a brush, I get it, but also, we don’t get to choose how others think of us, only what we will do in response.
to better analogize this, you’re hanging around a nazi rally trying to find friends, and people keep calling you a nazi for some reason.

As a Lemmy user I don’t care for this
I feel like Lemmy has the reputation of being Tankie
It’s a metaphor since tankies don’t seem to exist or make a difference in real life
They’d have to go outside to do that.
