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.

    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.
