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.
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?
I don’t really know what I think of him. I have never heard him say anything bad but he feels like an alternate Luke Smith which gives me bad vibes.
His content is pretty good, though. I have discovered some neat stuff through him which I am grateful for
Same for me. I really don’t like his praising of crypto.
He’s actually only praising Monero
Yep. But ‘don’t invest in crypto, except for this crypto currency i own’ is what a lot of crypto folks say. So I’m always cautious when hearing this.
If you see crypto as an investment, you shouldn’t use crypto, imho.
Isn’t he right-wing, LiBeRtArIaN? I could be thinking of someone else, though. Not a fan of his.
I think you might be thinking about Luke Smith
There are so many Linuxy YouTube Guys With Terrible Politics™ that it’s really not that hard to confuse them with each other.
What deeply frustrates me about it is that a lot of people who would otherwise be big advocates for FOSS software get completely turned off by creeps like this being absolutely everywhere.
Then they never believed in it to begin with. Freedom comes with a cost.
It’s not surprising that people who have unacceptable views seek out the freest medium to express them. That’s always been the case.
You need the crazies to be crazy for alternate media to exist.
I feel uneasy that he’s promoting Lemmy given his iffy politics. Lemmy, Kbin, etc… will die like Gab if they get flooded with 4channers and Redpillers.
I’ve only seen a few of their videos but didn’t pick up any right wing rhetoric or anything, what’s their politics and how does it come out?
In my opinion, the fediverse is quite resilient. Communities can be moderated, instances can be unfederated.
I made my own thread on the topic over at !fediverse@lemmy.world and it seems like a mix of “oh that’s cool” and “some of the stuff he says is kinda ehhh”
I’d say that sums up my opinion pretty well, too.
As far as I noticed he never actually said something offensive
He did say something antisemitic in one video, then he took it down. Let me find it real quick.
Should be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63hor
It is disabled though…Please correct me if you find it!
Interesting, what was the topic of the video? And what did he say?
I remember this guy said slurs . Noped the fuck outta there
I can’t think of a time he’s said any slur, but there is a particular video I would be interested to see it
