I feel like it’s unfortunate they didn’t highlight the open source options where the customer is not the product as their article closer, but rather of a quote about how Reddit could be such a better place. Seems to entirely miss the point.
No surprise there; it's the same mainstream media that rarely acknowledges the existence of Linux or third-party political candidates.
They did do a beginner's guide to Mastodon after Musk infested Twitter, but it does seem like they don't consider Lemmy or Mastodon to be "serious"
Lemmy's still at the "ignore it to death until we can't anymore" stage.
They also quote one user multiple times throughout the article. Well, two if you count the deleted comment.
Zero mention of how ads are now every other post. And zero mention of why everyone hates the official app. "Navigation"? What
