So one is for spreading right wing propaganda and one is for shilling knockoff perfumes?
One split the focus on text and pictures of all kind, one focuses on photos
As a software guy, that just sounds like one bit of software with two audiences that call it different things.
Everyone seems to be stepping on each others toes anyway, with "reels" and shit trying desperately to claw back some of those kids lost to TikTok.
Honestly not sure why the Fediverse is split that way either. A Lemmy client surely contains about 99% of the code to be a Mastodon client or Loops or Pixelfed or any of the others. Just looks like a procession of people constantly reinventing the wheel and painting it a different colour...
