Hello, these rumors are getting out of hand. To make matters worse, they are rejecting Lemmy (the software) because of the rumors about the developers. You really need to do something about this, because the reputation of Lemmy (the software) is in serious danger. Thank you for listening to my concern about malicious rumors.
There’s nothing you can do to stop a targeted attack/disinformation. Reddit admins and sycophants have a vested interest in keeping competition down and that won’t change with more Lemmy outreach. I’d either ignore it or correct people on the facts when given the opportunity. We don’t need a billion users to migrate from reddit for this to be an entertaining place to visit.
