I don't get it 😣
- Typical fediverse drama:
  Lemmy is like Reddit for the fediverse. Mastodon is like Twitter for the fediverse. there's a version of facebook for the fediverse, instagram for the fediverse, etc.
  the fediverse is better in that it's designed to be non-corporate and open-source and other good things
  in theory, you should be able to post from one part of the fediverse to the other
  someone was like: here's a proof of concept that you can post from one part of the fediverse to ALL the other parts of the fediverse!
  a mod was like: your post is pointless and an annoyance and you are just working for advertisers
  the poster was like: wat? how would advertising work?
  the mod was like: give me money or leave me alone, and then locked and removed the post.
  
  Comrades, I'm really starting to think that social media is just bad right across the board
  
  Thanks for the explanation!
  
  Is there any evidence of the mod part?
- Fediverse was an idea to share the content between apps, nowdays, its difficult share content between Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfeed, etc.
- Yeah, I'm not sure what we're looking at here.
  
  I think, @Sergio@slrpnk.net summed it up well:

  I think it's just a joke about trying to get hashtags working on a Mastodon post?
