Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away (this one, in fact), a few internet rebels decided that they were tired of the corporate overlords controlling their online lives. Thus, the fediverse was born — an attempt to wrest control of microblogging services, such as Twitter and its ilk, away from centralized powers and into the hands of the people.

    If they’ve heard of Lemmy then it’s probably the Tankie connection that’s putting them off. If.

    Guessing Kbin/Mbin is also either unheard of or tainted by association.

    Or it could just be: “But why male models not Reddit?”
