From the article:
"Beehaw is relatively new and relatively small at the moment, but it’s one of the closest approximations of what Reddit is that you’re going to find, and well worth investigating as a Reddit replacement. The interface even looks a lot like Reddit, albeit without a lot of the on-screen features and furniture that build up over almost two decades of operation.
Have a read of the Beehaw mission statement and you’ll see the platform is committed to avoiding the “hate speech” and “disinformation” that’s prevalent elsewhere. The communities available right now cover everything from neurodivergence and people of color to literature and gardening, so you’re sure to find something of interest here."

Interesting that they mentioned Beehaw, but not Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.
They dug the Beehaw vibe 🐝
Honestly, it keeps it simpler. The idea of federation and etc can go above the heads of people so it’s probably simpler to just focus on one instance and let the users discover the wider world of federation at their own pace.
Personally though, I would have mentioned Lemmy/Kbin in some capacity.
I think Beehaw is a great instance who shows what the Fediverse can be and is about.
I love that they actually shout out 1 of the instances instead of Lemmy or Kbin as a whole.
Not a fan of the defederation. I’m actually displeased they would shout out an instance that will give new users a BAD experience of what the fediverse is.
Beehaw is the better experience though. I barely use my lemmy.world account.
but can you actually register to beehaw? Because I tried days ago, and I still can’t log in.
to put it mildly, the email situation behind the scenes is a fiasco right now that we’re trying to resolve asap. if you registered a few days ago you’re almost certainly in queue and if we had our way you might have a judgement by now, but our email providers kind of threw us a curveball yesterday that means we literally can’t send out the emails that’d notify you if we approved or denied you. it’s very dumb. we’re very tired of it, lol
They really did recommend Digg as an alternative to Reddit. Some stubborn exec at Digg is punching the air right now.
This has to be a joke, right? Digg is basically just an editor controlled blog that reposts the top of r/all these days.
Also… Slashdot? It’s it 1999?
The comments on Slashdot have been way busier the last few says, and most of the comments aren’t even related to the linked story.
No mention of Metafilter or Fark? Pffff.
That’s really weird that they would recommend just Beehaw specifically. It makes me wonder if the author understands what Lemmy is. (Or maybe I just feel jealous as a filthy Lemmy.One user)
It does sound like they did very little research into the Lemmy verse and slapped the first thing they could find whose sidebar sounded good.
However I do like they mentioned a variety of different platforms including Digg lol.
Beeeeeehaaawww!!
oh, no. hides from work
