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?

I made my own thread on the topic over at [email protected] 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?

Why is that important, he’s been accused of bigotry! Grab your pitchfork and don’t ask questions

I looked it up and the only thing i found was this in the description of one of his videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63horAFnbBc&t=0s , seems to be the link they're referring to and its just penguins

I don't quite remember and that reminds me the need to clarify: DO NOT BASE YOUR OPINION ON WHAT I SAID, because I may be wrong.
