all i simly have for this is KBIN IS NOT LEMMY IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE LEMMY IT IS SIMILAR TO LEMMY BUT ITS NOT THE SAME THE FACT THAT YOU CAN COMMENT ON LEMMY POST DOESN'T JUSTIFY IT BEING LEMMY
I can see that you very strongly feel something about this … but I can't for the life of me figure out why. Can you show me on this doll where the bad kbin touched you?
Also, please try using grammar. I had to read that awful block of text like 5 times before I understood what you were saying. And it felt like shouting. Just why??
Some people are excessively sensitive to software developer political views.
Lemmy isn’t Kbin and Kbin isn’t Lemmy. Both are software participants in the fediverse. It is like saying nginx isn’t Apache: of course isn’t, but that doesn’t make them any less web servers.
But do many people actually mix up the two platforms? I haven't seen it much. The devs and sys admins certainly know that there's a difference between the two. And most end users seem to know that there's a difference. But even if the end users can't identify one platform from the other, I still don't see that it matters. I'm familiar with both nginx and apache... But I also don't shout in public forums that the two tools are not the same.
Somebody showed grandpa how to use Lemmy? But maybe they forgot to explain how federation works? My view is that if it federates with Lemmy then it's part of Lemmy. I think most would agree with that. Why the gate keeping?
