Great point, absolutely! I don’t subscribe to the “dead internet theory” but my time on the Fediverse has also convinced me that all of the corporate platform’s traffic numbers are almost certainly heavily inflated (probably to justify higher ad prices).
We have an entire instance dedicated to popular 1960s television show Star Trek (don’t go there)
I am pretty convinced these stats are low because I remember the early years of Reddit feeling much less active than the Threadiverse does now and I have to assume Reddit’s MAUs in 2008-9 were at least above 100K.
Regardless, this is nice to see and I recommend everyone check out !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com if they are interested in helping to promote Lemmy instances on Reddit.
“Portable identities” is a major feature of Mastodon and ActivityPub platforms in general. It’ll be on Lemmy one day too.

Like what? Which platforms are those Sarah Perez writing for TechCrunch? Can you name more than one?
Is there a source anywhere for this besides this youtubers saying so? I searched but was unable to find anything.
“fag” is a homophobic slur that was actually even more hurtful to use back in the early 2000s when LGBT people were a lot less accepted by society than today. That said your Dad is technically correct and it was a “term of endearment” among homophobes on 4chan which was largely comprised of straight white men in college had/has a self-deprecating sense of humor.
“Fag” is a homophobic slur and “shoop da woop” is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.
/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose “normie” redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.
“Shoop da woop” was a popular 4chan meme dating to at least 2006. Also the whole “newfag”, “oldfag” etc thing has been going on since forever.
Absolutely idk what that guy is smoking
Not bad for free. Appreciate you checking.
Ok thanks not bad! How much storage?
What are the specs like?
Sorry to hear that, I found his enthusiasm really charming!
The take that Fediverse moderation is “not as effective” always makes me smile, because:
The moderator-to-user ratio is several orders of magnitude better on the fediverse because volunteer-run instances have zero incentive to grow beyond their ability to self-moderate. But also-
Do you really expect that paid employees (or even trained AIs) are going to be more effective at recognizing who/what is disrupting a community than existing members with a personal stake in it’s quality?
Also, as aside I am very happy they said “Bluesky, if it manages to become truly federated” and not the “promises to be” or “is federated” language we usually see.
