Depends on the server you’re on. Lemmy found popularity when a group of communists had their subreddit(s)banned
That’s actually part of the reason why the original devs started Lemmy.

Finally, a competitive YouTube alternative
Masterful gambit sir
I’m heavily interested in Bluesky, so I started !bluesky@lemmy.ml. However, Lemmy is overall pretty hostile towards Bluesky, and I’m not willing to go back to Reddit for active discussion about it.
Car-dependent suburban sprawl
My favorites:
I wouldn’t really compare Bluesky to Mastodon. Ultimately, the Bluesky team still has control over what’s allowed on the app and what’s allowed on the network until third parties launch their own AppViews and relays.
It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.
I don’t really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.
Tankies are the reason why Lemmy exists in the first place.
Lemmy is probably the best fedidiverse project so far and it’s not even close
Bluesky is uniquely un-private. For instance, you can see who blocks who.
It always bugged me when the CEO referred to Bluesky as part of the fediverse because that’s only technically true with projects like Bridgy Fed.
Maybe. Meta and Automattic (WordPress.com and Tumblr) are betting on ActivityPub over ATProtocol.
That project is called Bridgy Fed.
It’s supposed to happen relatively soon I think https://bsky.social/about/blog/11-15-2023-toward-federation
idk. After they dropped invite codes, they started requiring phone numbers for sign up.

User-uploadable custom feeds, which aren’t really possible with ActivityPub
People here just downvote anything they don’t like even if it’s in its own community
