Yeah I was a little disappointed to not get any mention of Lemmy or kbin, but I know their growth isn’t the biggest element of that news. As a group they have seemed mostly dismissive of the fediverse, with only Adam the producer even remotely active on Mastodon.

I also feel like they could’ve mentioned the NSFW ban from the API. Whether you watch porn or not I think that’s an overlooked part of all this. Other than that I think they did a great overview.

Realistically Lemmy is not a suitable substitute for 90% of users, which is fine. Its just not intuitive enough.

Not intuitive enough?

It can appear identical to an end user via the right client.

Marques in particular has been critical of the fediverse for being too complicated for the average user. I don’t blame him entirely - talk of different servers and federation is pretty confusing. Even for a tech savvy person, it takes some time to really understand it.

Not in quite the same tone, no. But the main channel had this video: https://youtu.be/I1qsF0WQy8c

And later they did discuss the Twitter API lockup on Waveform. Here’s the clip: https://youtu.be/_vWJ5ugnZX0
