At least we have tankies, so there's that.
I jest, yet that's a real worry that a large number of people have, like on Reddit when people (Blaze) promotes Lemmy that is quite often their first response ("hey, isn't that the one where tankies who got booted off of Reddit went and made their own Reddit software?").
That, and the fact that we are first and foremost, primarily a "Linux forum". We do have general communities like AskLemmy and I even helped start an AskUSA so I'm not saying that there's nothing else there, but we definitely lack the breadth and depth present on Reddit.
Maybe we can find better talking points, like "we have less content but our discussions are more worthwhile, where people tend to be kinder and also real rather than bots btw".
Although Lemmy.World's massive policy change announcement is definitely going to absorb all of our attention for the foreseeable future.
