Techradar Just Shouted Out Beehaw! (www.techradar.com)

From the article:

"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it's one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you're going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.

Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you'll see the platform is committed to avoiding the "hate speech" and "disinformation" that's prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you're sure to find something of interest here."

Interesting that they mentioned Beehaw, but not Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.

The Fediverse is still a strange concept to a lot of people. They assume only email is federated and the rest of the web is sites with only internally facing channels of communication.

90% of people don't even know what federated is

Shit, I still don't know what a federated is

Gotta pump those numbers up, I’d honestly guess 99%

Five nines.

Any real journalist will know about federation; it’s how journalism works too.
