I was finally looking to take the plunge away from corporate social medias. I was already using BlueSky as my Twitter/X replacement, and one thing stuck with me that they were doing: Federation. That seemed cool, and look! There is a Reddit replacement that does this “federation” thing. Lemm.ee seemed to line up with my general principles (Im a leftist so i don’t want any lefty communities or instances defeded) and i like talking with the community at large, so here i am :D

…sick of reddit kowtowing to billionaires interests

Welcome. If you’re not aware, BlueSky is seeded by venture capital money and is generally under the ownership of billionaires; their “federation” is you optionally running a server that hosts your own (meta)data but the access to use that data (your content feed) still goes through one and only one website owned, operated and moderated by billionaires. They’ve already made it well known they intend on adding ads to their platform and have not yet worked out actual server federation. $0.02

  I know, i understand that BlueSky isn’t “true federation”, but i still agree with some of what they’re doing. As long as they’re getting people off Twitter and off places like reddit, regardless of if they have bad intentions for BlueSky eventually, they’re doing some good.
