Too many people are confusing the two. Whenever lemmy.ml or its devs do something stupid, people go “Lemmy is getting worse and worse,” or “I’m leaving Lemmy,” or worse, “I’m leaving for Beehaw.”

If you’re using Beehaw, then you’re using Lemmy. Lemmy is the software these instances run on. If you don’t like lemmy.ml, join another instances that have rules that match your philosophy. Some instance hosts authoritarian or fascist shit? Turn to another Lemmy instance. Lemmy.ml is not even the biggest instance. People who just joined and are unfamiliar with the platform will just think the entire Lemmyverse is run by autocratic admins if we don’t get our terminology right.

    Can I ask how many of Einstein’s books, letters and other associated work you have actually read?

    If you can explain why anyone should care about your false appeal to authority. Good luck :)

      I think that learning about things is a pre-requisite to having an opinion on them and that more people should simply say “I actually know nothing about that so I don’t hold much opinion”. It shows maturity when people do this, and avoid a lot of wasted time.
