I thought I was pretty familiar with the fediverse (joined mastodon in 2018) but I don’t understand what some of that means. What is a Link Aggregation Social Network and why is it capitalised?
Lemmy, Reddit, Sublinks, Kbin are all Link Aggregation social networks. They mostly share links to articles and the like. It's just the category they're in.
Lemmy and Reddit are LASNs. They collect links for people to comment on.
What’s an LISN ?
Edit: @feathercrown edited their post which originally said LISN.
Sorry typo-- meant LASN, Link Aggregation Social Network
Lisn al Gaib! It's the messiah of link interchange social media!
