If youâve 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 theyâre excited about the idea. Iâve really enjoyed reading through them :)
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of âfederationâ and âuniverseâ.
Getting started on Fediverse;
Ya know, if a writer for Oliver gets the right push, it isnât even to strange to get them to literally open an instance on the Fediverse. They love getting their names on shit and the dare âI bet you canât get @oli.verse instance to become the top Lemmy instanceâ would be right up their ally. Youâd see a million users in a week, lol.
Servers start sweating profusely (overload)
A little disappointing that Bluesky is on there as well, but pretty awesome other than that. And I guess even Bluesky is probably better than Threads, and definitely better than Xitter.
Iâm particularly glad to see Pixelfed as the only Instagram alternative, because itâs a great space that could use more support.
Yeah BlueSky is a solid side-step. Itâs still for-profit and not federated but every BlueSky user is one not on X. And a lot of BlueSkyâs userbase is comprised of particularly influential X users so them leaving is particularly harmful to the ecosystem.
I also think itâs funny how the journalists who repeat BlueSkys âdecentralizedâ nonsense thought Mastodon was too weird and technical, and yet are promoting Pixelfed. Not complaining, but it is funny.
How is bluesky not also big tech? Itâs based in Seattle and founded by Jack Dorsey.
It is big tech. Itâs just less big tech than Xitter and Facebook. And it at least kinda-sorta has some vague federation-like design. And itâs a âpublic benefit corporationâ, which doesnât mean much because itâs still for-profit, but it at least means theyâre allowed to not put profit ahead of public good, unlike normal for-profit companies. Not as good as Mastodon by far, with its true federation and true not-for-profit status in the guiding entity, but itâs not nothing.
You hear that? Itâs the sound of dozens of normies storming stux instances. Stay calm donât panic, the algorithm will take them back in a week.
The algorithm will pull them and the commies will push them.
Hey, the good news is we might get more Communists on federated media.

WellâŚsomeone on his writing team anyways.
Whatâs john Oliverâs mastodon account?
It was only for like one second, but something is better than nothing
Any way to watch this from Canada? He says itâs not available in my country.

Never mind, youtube faked me out. Looks like the new one will require a proxy
Does Grayjay get around region restrictions?
