With the advent of Reddit going public and selling user data an opportunity has arisen. I still consume Reddit from time to time and noticed in the threads about these things that a lot of displeased users were there. But when they ask what alternatives there are, lemmy is barely mentioned at all. So if you're still on there, this is a chance to educate others about the fediverse and alternatives.

Came here to basically say this, especially the first couple points. I've talked a few people into trying various Fedi services and cannot overstate just how much they DO NOT CARE about the techy underpinnings of it all. People just want to know a) it's cool b) where to sign up c) where to find the content they're looking for.

Anything else can wait until they learn it naturally over time or specifically ask the question.
