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.

Sure. I can get behind that.
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.
