Mental Outlaw | Lemmy - The FOSS & Federated Reddit Alternative (www.youtube.com)

In this video I show off some different Lemmy instances and discuss why the lemmyverse and even some individual Lemmy instances can become a better alternative to Reddit.

(via. Odysee)

I dunno how the community collectively feels about Mental Outlaw in sum, but there's content of his that has its way of piquing my interests. He just put up a video showcasing Lemmy, some instances, and the mechanics/interactions between them. Probably old news for many of us, but I think it's always pretty cool to see Lemmy get its mention.

Beehaw specifically got its mention through the video and he briefly touches on Beehaw's defederation from sh.itjust.works. I'm pretty confident he disagrees with the decision, but his opinion and description of things struck me as balanced and respectable enough. I'd wager that a more precise description of the intrigue would likely take as much time as the video itself.

Any thoughts on Mental Outlaw's coverage of either Lemmy in sum or Beehaw? Anyone else seen creators they keep their eyes on give mention of Lemmy?

I don't personally find them offensive or think anything of them, but sometimes he does throw out a non-sequitur that I could see people disliking. He does do a good job at introducing topics in a digestible way though, and most of his takes aren't all that bad.

Overall I like him. If I had a criticism, it's that his videos are not technical enough and covers topics in a more general sense. Some people look for their ideal personality who has all of the traits they want and none of the characteristics that they don't like. That person will never exist

For material, I try to feed the intellectual thirst.
