      The article seems well-written, except that:

      the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.

      Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we’re like “and others” lel… I guess they didn’t mention Pixelfed either tho and it’s a lot “hotter”…

        That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.

        The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.

          Last thing we need is casual news readers joining. This is the dark souls of the fediverse and I am the undead burg twink invader.
