What is fediverse and why is it so talked about in this site? in c/ELI5@kbin.social

Really? Cause this explanation doesn't actually explain anything, but certainly provides us with an enemy 'evil money guys'.

The more I think about it, I think this dumb talking-down explanation just muddies the water.

It was confusing at first in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

It'll happen here, too.

People forget how obvious the efforts of Correct the Record and ShareBlue were on reddit.

Part of it was understandable: Trump sucks and any alternative was preferable, and reddit as a whole skews young and Democrat. So who cares, right?

But that level of astroturfing would have rightly been called out were the politics swapped.

And it goes way beyond politics. I'm sure Marvel and Disney are sending out feelers to control discussion in reddit alternatives.
