Twitter under Elon Musk’s chaotic reign has seemingly created an opportunity for an alternative microblogging service.

I’m honestly really happy that Elon Musk bought Twitter and basically destroyed it. If it weren’t for him, open protocols such as ActivityPub wouldn’t be on news. I wish I could say the same for Reddit though. The amount of information it holds is simply too much to ignore. During the blackout, it was hard to find answers to my tech related questions as all subreddits were private. Hopefully tech community will move on to Lemmy.
This is what web2.0 should have done… But fuxk it better now than never.
The fediverse is truly the best thing that happened to the web since HTML5
Practically, every time I go to peertube channel or mastodon from Lemmy it appears either empty or having few to no posts
Yeah it seems like there are definitely still some quirks in the Lemmy software and the activitypub protocol! I look forward to seeing how this all looks in like 5 years
To be totally honest, I’d prefer if Lemmy stuck to Lemmy, Mastodon stuck to Mastodon, etc…
Having structurally incompatible types of sites linking into each other is almost always messy. Sharing info between them is accomplished by just giving an URL more often than not.
