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?

Sad, really. We really should try to push Peertube further. They are really struggling.

Definitely, the issue is that hosting videos is much more resource demanding than text or photos, thus there are few large instances with enough creators and quality content.

I am surprised how (relatively) mild the videos on Peertube are. For some reason I always thought that Peertube was even worse than Odysee.

It all depends on the instance. I found some pretty fucked up instances absolutely filled to the brim with conspiracies against people, healthcare and science.
