It’s no secret that Lemmy is shaping up to be a viable alternative to Reddit. The issue it faces however is that it’s still relatively niche and not many people know about it. I propose that we change this. By contacting the mods of large subreddits and asking them to make and promote relevant Lemmy communities we could substantially increase the amount of people who discover the fediverse. What’s more, I don’t think this is would be a hard sell considering many mods are already pissed off with Reddit due to their API changes. I believe that this is the time to act, so this is a call to arms, to help grow the fediverse into the future of social media!
You are absolutely right. Which makes discourse around it difficult. You’ve got a nice nuanced take on it all, I appreciate seeing that.
My personal opinion is it’s a discussion I would leave to actual scientists in those fields, random social media posters aren’t the place to hold that discussion as many aren’t remotely capable of dealing with the topic. They tend to devolve into “opinions without facts” real fast, and that’s a waste of anyone’s time. My compile times are only so long :D
