I can understand why they might say ‘its too complicated’ but why tankies? I saw what appeared to be a fairly large tankie instance (lemmygrad.ml) but beyond that I wouldn’t expect there to be an undue presence. And they are certainly tons of tankies over on Reddit too so…
Not trying to insert my own opinion but I believe it’s because the core Lemmy devs actually admin and/or are involved in said instance. Well verify for yourself but somebody said it’s hosted from the same IP as lemmy.ml. And the core devs comment and moderation histories are public for all to see.
That might be it, especially seeing as they use the same domain of .ml but as I don’t see why it would matter, because of the nature of it if they ever do bad things people can just leave/defederate or even fork the code. I dont care to go verify if it is the same ip (I’d have to figure out how first) and it doesnt really matter to me
Not as long as redditors keep parroting “tankies” and “it’s too complicated” every time Lemmy is brought up lol. They’re doing the dirty work for us.
