Something to help lead people to the Fediverse
(thelemmy.club)
I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.
I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
Because some people had ideological differences with some of the Lemmy Devs. So instead of using the software as it's supposed to be used, and simply defederating from instances they didn't like, they went and made their own software which effectively does the same thing as Lemmy.
I guess I don't mind that there's diversity in the Fediverse ecosystem, but at the same time, I feel like the people most adamant about pushing Piefed are doing so, because they want to be in an ideological echo chamber, as opposed to actually furthering the cause of federated social media, and open-source software.
Piefed does a lot of different things to Lemmy right now.
And that's part of why I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of more diversity in the Fediverse space.
But I do take umbridge with a lot of the "why you should switch to Piefed" rhetoric being based in bizarre "Tankie triad" conspiracism.
"Stalin did nothing wrong and never killed millions!"
"If you get killed by a brutal commie regime, that automatically makes you a counter-revolutionary who deserved it"
