Nice strawman.
Lemming: You should try Lemmy, it's a way to have reddit style content, but without a company controlling it.
Redditor: Wow cool, Fuck Spez. Where do I join?
Lemming: it doesn't matter, every domain that participates has the same content, here's a list of places to choose from.
I agree with both posts.
I put lemmy off because the way everyone was explaining it was confusing AF. Everyone comes at you like they are on the street handing out Bibles.
People go through this whole fediverse diatribe. There should just be a universal Eli 5 infographic that each instance shows new users that briefly describe how it works.
Once you remove the decentralized fedi talk it's actually pretty simple to understand.
It's a just rhetorical device to explain a theory for why most Redditors haven't jumped ship yet. It may be correct, it may be incorrect.
