Even planet money gave a shoutout today. This is big news already.
Don’t remember him taking about his boy Elon destroying Twitter.
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
23:55 is where it starts
Its nice to see this talked about on such a large channel
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.
lol “internet power user have in common, they hold grudges for a long time” yep, easy enough for me to use Lemmy that I will never go back.
