Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

it’s worrying because all that knowledge will be lost instead of living somewhere in a forum indexed by a search engine.

But in the same time, I see more people fleeing from traditional search engines to AI … I don’t know where we’re heading at

What do you think is the reason why not a lot more people are joining the fediverse?

  I think there are more reasons, but the most prominent ones are
  
  the fediverse is not that aggressively publicized
  
  if by any luck your average bob joins, he’ll be confused because a) the UI/UX is less appealing b) he doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.

    For sure.
    
    doesn’t know where to go and what’s the difference between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy etc.
    
    They also know the difference between Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit. Why shouldn’t they get it here?

    No idea, but I tried invited some my friends who are not tech-aficionados — they couldn’t understand it.
    
    I’d love to see more money thrown on Ads for promoting the fediverse on YouTube, Twitch and all other platforms and get this shit more viral, but I don’t understand why it’s not happening
