This little journey started with me covering the Reddit controversy. I did a writeup to what all happened here at the time: https://www.freezenet.ca/kbin-and-lemmy-trying-to-make-reddits-pain-the-fediverses-gain/

I then followed that up with an update to what all was happening with the growth of KBin, Lemmy, and Beehaw on the ActivityPub protocol: https://www.freezenet.ca/as-reddit-drama-continues-activitypub-growth-continues-to-skyrocket/

That resulted in this going to the front page of the technology news magazine on KBin: https://kbin.social/m/tech/t/60668

As a result, notifications were blowing up like crazy, there was lots of discussion surrounding my article, and I saw a nice sizable traffic spike on my end. It was incredible to see and I am absolutely grateful to all those that made this moment happen. For those who want to check out these alternatives, here are some links:
