Seeing sticky posts on r/RedditAlternatives like https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/
I don’t see how anything can be coordinated when so many options are presented in a confusing way.
Of course, they don’t have to choose Lemmy / kbin instances, but I’m worried that a lot of people will stay on Reddit given the inability to properly communicate alternatives.
(Bonus: most platforms listed here ( https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v8/ ) are terrible and Lemmy is relegated to the “less active” section; furthermore only lemmy.ml is listed, instead of https://join-lemmy.org for example)
Isn’t breaking a monopoly a good thing?
Yes, but if it’s too overwhelming, they’re not switching from said monopoly!
You don’t break a monopoly by directing everyone to the next monopoly.
Federated or not, you don’t want everyone on one platform.
They don’t even have to be on Lemmy. Other platforms in the Fediverse (like Kbin) are compatible with us.
