From the article:

"Moving to the Fediverse

This tension between these communities and their host have, again, fueled more interest in the Fediverse as a decentralized refuge. A social network built on an open protocol can afford some host-agnosticism, and allow communities to persist even if individual hosts fail or start to abuse their power. Unfortunately, discussions of Reddit-like fediverse services Lemmy and Kbin on Reddit were colored by paranoia after the company banned users and subreddits related to these projects (reportedly due to “spam”). While these accounts and subreddits have been reinstated, the potential for censorship around such projects has made a Reddit exodus feel more urgently necessary, as we saw last fall when Twitter cracked down on discussions of its Fediverse-alternative, Mastodon."

        On mastodon search for the account @news@beehaw.org it will be this lemmy sub but in mastodon. Commenting on posts in mastodon will also comment on the lemmy thread.

      This seriously blows my mind. You’re commenting from Mastodon on a Beehaw thread which I’m reading and replying via Fedia.io. All this interconnection is amazing; it truly embodies the concept of an internet.

      We should remind people that we have zero qualms about email which is essentially a federated service. You can be on Gmail, Yahoo, or Bing and trust that your message will be delivered to where you point it.

      The only difference being that email is pointed to a particular user on a given instance, and here messages are pointed to magazines/communities.
