Mental Outlaw | Lemmy - The FOSS & Federated Reddit Alternative (www.youtube.com)

In this video I show off some different Lemmy instances and discuss why the lemmyverse and even some individual Lemmy instances can become a better alternative to Reddit.

(via. Odysee)

I dunno how the community collectively feels about Mental Outlaw in sum, but there's content of his that has its way of piquing my interests. He just put up a video showcasing Lemmy, some instances, and the mechanics/interactions between them. Probably old news for many of us, but I think it's always pretty cool to see Lemmy get its mention.

Beehaw specifically got its mention through the video and he briefly touches on Beehaw's defederation from sh.itjust.works. I'm pretty confident he disagrees with the decision, but his opinion and description of things struck me as balanced and respectable enough. I'd wager that a more precise description of the intrigue would likely take as much time as the video itself.

Any thoughts on Mental Outlaw's coverage of either Lemmy in sum or Beehaw? Anyone else seen creators they keep their eyes on give mention of Lemmy?

I have not used Odysee for quite some time. Why is the comment sections of the video so filled with terrible opinions. Claiming being blocked federation is bad while they would also do it themself to keep the echo chamber?

Damn, im reading the comments and its pretty rough over there. Those guys are mad, they could always just make their own federated hellhole, or i guess stick with 4chan

Honestly, those type of people will be mad at anything. But lets not open the can of worms.

I am extremely sure there is already some instance catered to their thoughts.
