I actually don’t remember what taught me about Lemmy and Kbin’s existence.

For me it was a german podcast about social media called "Haken dran". For a short time, they had a community on feddit.de, where the hosts also occassionally visited and sometimes they would mention "feddit" in their podcast, which got me on the hook.

Sadly, the podcast by now moved its community to discord.

Anyways, I do think metions in podcasts, YouTube videos, etc., matter. It raises awareness beyond the big companies fucking things up ... though I think the most effective thing to grow the Fediverse is to code better software.

Its kind of hard to say because I don't think X is giving out reliable numbers about their own monthly active users, so. ..

Awesome! Themed instances are so important for the Fediverse. I wish you all the best :)

What aren't they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?

Yes, and if called out, they say it happens for freedom of speech, which is absurd given that the richest man on earth provides the infrastructure and has a large presence on the platform himself.

There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

For real. There’s a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?

As if. People disagreeing with you is not harassement. I guess almost no one want you to stop not eating meat.

I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!

Amen to that

I'm pretty sure most just don't know about us or don't care

Interesting! Is there a video of the event?

Blusky has 13 millions registered users but what about their monthly active users?

Mods are assholes is interesting, because its similar (but not the same as) all cops are bastards. Sure, a place where you dont need cops sounds great, but it also smells a lot like mass survailance or total anarchism (Mass survailance is walled garden internet and total anarchism is the fedi-pact).
