There is not much getting posted, it is becoming emptier and emptier.
It feels like that party where I was one of the first people in, then people came and it was cool, and then suddenly it’s nearly empty.

I’m not saying we need to blow up and get inundated with the masses, but sometimes it takes an event to kick things up a notch or two. Ideally a positive event, but something noteworthy to get people’s attention.
I don’t visit that site which shall not be named anymore, but I never visited it for memes or politics etc or because I had any particular affinity for the platform. I went there for the niche forums it had and if they exist here, they are empty.
I’m optimistic and I think we’ll have that event.
It would probably have helped if all the news orgs shitting on reddit during the peak of the shitstorm had mentioned so much as a single alternative platform. But basically all of them were written as if reddit was all there was and the users were angry, but not even close to abandoning it.
Well, here’s to the future. May the fediverse get more coverage, because it sure doesn’t have an advertising budget. And that’s a good thing.
Word.
The average person doesn’t seek shit out. They wait until it’s fed to them and then may occasionally decide to participate out of fomo.
What really surprised me is that some of the communities I enjoyed pretty much universally carried on as if nothing happened. Maybe I’m weird, but I can’t support the bullshit they pulled. Thankful for the alternative and hope to see it flourish.
