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.

I’m just tripping balls from your username formatting, perhaps you should talk to @muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee

Let’s just say I’d rather be with a man than this bear. But the bear is gone.

Lmao yes this is exactly what I’m talking about, I’ve never seen this before

I’m making the community but I’m having some technical difficulties, bear with me.

I’m on Lemmy all the time and I didn’t know that community. But thanks for sharing, this is what I’m talking about.

Tbf you’re on Lemmy 24/7 so you’ll hear about things much earlier than many others. I’ve also been on Piefed for a minute.

But I’ve come to understand how slowly knowledge propagates through large numbers of people, at least via this medium. First with the APIcaplyse, when I realized that virtually nobody on reddit had even heard of the API changes, let alone moving to Lemmy. And then on Lemmy itself with various major events/dramas that people were totally unaware of until much later.

Piefed is developing rapidly and seems like a worthy alternative to Lemmy and Mbin. The private voting feature is also really cool.
