If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.

Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)

I wish he had mentioned Lemmy, but it's understandable that he didn't. Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.

But beggars can't be choosers, and we have seen some nice growth over the past couple months. John Oliver fans are the perfect candidates to join the fediverse, hopefully some of them find their way to Lemmy.

Indirectly, looking up "John Oliver Mastodon" brings up this post in the top few. "John Oliver Pixelfed" has this post as the first option

So we're not completely left out :)

How can anyone not love the guy?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I think he plays the awkward card to actual cringe levels at times but I'll also watch Cody's Showdy so that can't be it entirely.

Can't say I love him, but I do appreciate the work he does.

This; I'm so sick of hearing it pop up when people mention alternatives.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure anyone mentions bluesky as an alternative to big tech.

Pretty sure they only mention it as an alternative to musk/X.

This right here, the everyday person doesn't know what federation is let alone believes that it's an alternative to federated platforms. They see it as a better Twitter that's not run by Musk and honestly that's all they need to know.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

They haven't gone through the churn of corporate emshittification enough yet I'd have to guess.

Holy shit! A sane rational Lemmy user in the /c/Fediverse community! Someone who sees the bigger picture, and isn't just reacting to this small niche area of the internet.

Look, I love Lemmy, but I can't sit by and act like just because something is a better service, and makes logical sense to use, that people will ever have even heard of it. That's not how PEOPLE work. Yes, Lemmy is better than reddit. But no, Lemmy will not overtake reddit in usercount maybe in my lifetime. Unless reddit gets sold, and then plummets into death like myspace did. Then Lemmy wins by default, but it's not the same thing.

And ~~everyone~~ (well, everyone but you I guess) most people on this community seems to miss all that.

I'm really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols is only going to harm us in the long run.

I’m really not happy about bluesky their fragmentation of the fediverse protocols

shrug, I wish they were with us, but they are also a big ole corporate entity, so I'm kind ok with us staying our our side of the fence. As they need to implement payment and corporate protections to their network, we're free to be free over here.

is only going to harm us in the long run.

We don't have to play ball. not with them anyway,

I think, If we have any credible threat, it's going to be from the Governmental gross anti-tampering laws, forced moderation, or backup regulations. They could make it legally difficulty for us to exist.

I’m sure he’s going to be facing lawsuits from Краснов and Wormtongue any day now.

Are we that degenerate already??

YES! #winning

Cool, everybody can build these companies up so that they can launch their IPOs and be controlled by a new board of directors fresh from wall street. It will all be so different.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

The whole point of federation is that that can't really happen, or at least they can fuck a single server, but not the whole ecosystem.
