I described it as “Mastodon’s Reddit”. Which is inaccurate, and I’m not happy with it. How would you phrase it?

    I’ve learned it’s a mistake to try to describe the fediverse to people. It’s right up there with getting them to care about privacy

    I’d just describe it as Reddit, but less bots. Or reddit but less toxic. Just focus on what might draw them in and send them a link to lemmy.world or whatever home server you think they’d like

      “less toxic” can be interpreted in different ways. For example, I don’t always find people on Lemmy to be more open-minded across tribal boundaries. But you can perhaps find your tribe and experience less toxicity that way?
