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 don’t really know what I think of him. I have never heard him say anything bad but he feels like an alternate Luke Smith which gives me bad vibes.

His content is pretty good, though. I have discovered some neat stuff through him which I am grateful for

Same for me. I really don't like his praising of crypto.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

He's actually only praising Monero

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember this guy said slurs . Noped the fuck outta there

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I can't think of a time he's said any slur, but there is a particular video I would be interested to see it

I feel uneasy that he’s promoting Lemmy given his iffy politics. Lemmy, Kbin, etc… will die like Gab if they get flooded with 4channers and Redpillers.

In my opinion, the fediverse is quite resilient. Communities can be moderated, instances can be unfederated.

I've only seen a few of their videos but didn't pick up any right wing rhetoric or anything, what's their politics and how does it come out?
