How does (or should) one respond to “Lemmy = tankies” (lib.lgbt)

I shared my fly.io Lemmy project to Hacker News and one of the first responses was “Lemmy is for tankies.”

This isn’t the first time I’d heard this either. In leaving Reddit and researching alternatives I’d heard it a fair amount.

I think it’s basically untrue; beehaw doesn’t even federate with the big tankie servers. But that seems to require some understanding of what Lemmy actually is.

So… what’s the best way to talk about it and/or get around this optics issue?

Which one is the main instance? I want to test if I speak against CCP if I get banned. If I don't, that is one data point this issue isn't what people are saying. Plenty of data points are needed, I'm sure; but we Leftists are misrepresented and are not just one monolithic group. I meant to type "we know Leftists" are misrepresented but will leave the slip just the way it is, lol.

This is the thread I've seen talking about it https://lemmy.pineapplemachine.com/post/5781, I didn't really go further into the subject.

That's concerning. Will have to test and research.
