Lemmy section starts at 9:31 if you just want to see that part.

Too bad she says she wait until more controversies occur before she considers adding the platform to her social media list.

Yeah, this is a shame. I don't know the channel, but it seems like this video is more of an experiment in trying EU tech rather than actively recommending people move off US services. The creator is content (a content creator?) to stay on Reddit for now, so she's not necessarily ideologically motivated to switch to an EU alternative, decentralized platform, etc.

The "too complicated" criticism is her main reason for not adding Lemmy to her list of accounts. She does talk about it in terms of "adding" rather than "replacing", which is interesting. When I came over to kbin (RIP) in the APIcalypse, it coincided with leaving Reddit. I had no intention of using both. I can understand how treating Lemmy as an extra social media platform might change how you feel about it vs. dropping something else.

We almost always talk about fediverse platforms in terms of which centralized platform they're an alternative to. Some proportion of people clearly don't treat them that way. I wonder how you appeal to those groups. If they're currently happy with an existing service, saying "It's like that" isn't necessarily going to get them to join the federated equivalent.

In short, are there any advantages of the fediverse for people who don't have a problem with centralization?
