It almost seemed like it was written as a favor to Squabbles, except the owner of Squabbles himself did not seem to know about it until today.
I strongly hesitated posting such shoddy journalism. Maybe I should have hesitated more strongly still:-). - e.g. no mention of Meta also? :-P
Except I do find it interesting to hear more people discussing Reddit alternatives outside of Reddit and those alternatives themselves. The wider world may still not be aware of what Reddit even is, much less recent issues with it, but then there is the occasional article that mentions Lemmy and I think that is cool!:-D (even if as @fearout mentioned, it fails to mention Kbin, which I posted this from)
I’m still waiting for some major news outlet to write a piece about Fediverse in general. It’s odd that it’s either glossed over in one sentence or not even mentioned at all.
Step 2: (wait, are you sure that you have your puke bucket handy? warning, there are PICTURES in this thing!) Now, read this.
Step 3: go clean your puke bucket. You are welcome.
Warning: those who may be offended by seeing a picture of the Zuck and the Musk - combined with NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF LEMMY (or Beehaw, or Kbin, etc.) on an article ostensibly explaining “the fediverse”, may be advised to not read this little gem.
Edit: but it is CBC News, which iirc is mainstream?
Yeah, not mentioning even a single instance when writing about Fediverse is pretty shit journalism. I was expecting something much worse after reading your preparation steps though :) At least factually it’s not really incorrect.
I would not go that far as to say that with 100% certainty. The tagline says:
Information Security Analyst at Bank of America who enjoys writing, programming, and running in my spare time.
So they legit could have meant risky as in piracy or security considerations, like maybe Torrenting? On the other hand, is Beehaw not welcoming to those, like somehow being friendly means not being able to discuss more technical security issues?
They included beehaw. But not as a lemmy instance. Facepalm
No mention of kbin either
or tildes
Or Discuit.

(It was the pictures that made that effect for me - yup, Zuck & Musk are all that matter, in the end)
And they definitely meant risqué in that last paragraph, right?

So I suspect you are correct:-).
@southsamurai I’m currently cringing.
