3 of the top 4 results for me are fediverse related when searching for “lemmy”.

I don’t think its the signing up, its the lack of centralization/community. reddit was a singularity, the community is protesting en-masse because they felt they were all part of the same thing.

to me, the fediverse is a segmented… oddly connected group of overlapping communities. it lacks cohesion.

this is obvious cover… a bot-generated paper trail for when they ‘are forced to act on behalf of the community’
