What are their complaints about lemmy?
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”
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.
Basically another term for communists.
The fragmentation might be a hurdle but with how the fediverse works I see it more just being similar to email. You’ve got people using gmail, yahoo, aol etc each is its own separate server but they can all play nicely together and if one dies the others keep trucking.
