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."

Feels like this Beehaw section of the article is missing the mark in it's failure to recognize Lemmy or the Fediverse as a whole.

That’s what I thought too 🤷‍♀️

@emi @sudo The seven great alternatives to Reddit should have been (in no particular order):

Beehaw
KBin
Lemmy
FediBB
Mastodon
Calckey
Hubzilla

I don't think I'd call microblogging a Reddit alternative, they're wildly different formats even if they're somewhat interoperable here.

It's actually pretty amazing how little understanding tech writers seem to know about tech. They're just PR mouthpieces for gadget companies.
