The article went out of its way to not mention Lemmy
It is weird. Lemmy is the second largest fedi platform, having long since passed Pixelfed. But it is rarely mentioned in articles like these. I'm not sure what makes it such the black sheep.
One reason is reddit is still much lower in the public consciousness, compared to Instagram, which is effectively the biggest social media nowadays.
If they've heard of Lemmy then it's probably the Tankie connection that's putting them off. If.
Guessing Kbin/Mbin is also either unheard of or tainted by association.
Or it could just be: "But why ~~male models~~ not Reddit?"
which is hilarious because this website still brews lukewarm moderate takes and there's like, what, one tankie instance?
Eh, it's quite leftist here and VERY atheistic but honestly I've seen more insane takes come out of Reddit. Here there is reason and sense to those takes, as well as substance.
Strange. Lemmy was the real entry point for me to enter the Fediverse.
And instead mentions Bluesky, which I wouldn't even really classify as part of the Fediverse. Sure, it's federated, but it's pretty much just federated with its own self, and isn't accessible from any part of the Fediverse at large.
Who?
