 > What a clown. Wat? This is just a normal looking video, isn't really wrong about anything, except probably adding bluesky to the feddiverse. Despite it federates with us, it does so via crappy """opt-in""" third-party bridge. He doesn't even call the feddiverse "mastodon", which is common among many real low-educated tech journalists. 13 comments
 @drq @lonelyowl For a video like this they did fine.  @skobkin Iunno. I still think that evaluating Fediverse by joining Threads or Bluesky is kinda like evaluating a pub by sitting in a corner facing a wall and ordering just diet coke and nothing else.  Well, at least he listed some of the menu instead of just pushing something he chose - like it usually happens. As I see it - this is not Fediverse propaganda but a quick introduction into the phenomenon. Whoever is interested will know what to look for. Whoever is not will just click next anyway. @drq @lonelyowl Well, you just basically described me in any pub :philosoraptor: @drq @lonelyowl So I really see no issue there. If he didn't mention Threads at all though, I'd agree that video isn't good. Basically, a non-geek non-tech normie called your platform a good thing on his youtube channel for non-geek non-tech normies, and even did it with enough of respect to mention the software diversity of the network instead of just calling it a "mastodon". Denouncing him for not digging deep enough is kind of a weird thing to do, knowing that the feddiverse is notoriously unpopular among non-geek and non-tech normies ๐ค ๐ค @lonelyowl Okay, too harsh, I admit it. I still think that the guy, being a tech journalist, can do better than this. Yeah, probably. The video is too short, and it's not kind of a flaw that makes him a """clown""" anyway. At least not any more than you are, remembering your zealous defense of the "microblogging format". |

@lonelyowl How about evaluating any actual Fediverse platforms?
