It’s still worth it to red-pill people of the harms these algorithms cause and accept smaller network sizes that exclude people who refuse to “quit smoking” so to speak.

All true. And yet sadly until mastodon or better say another fediverse instance do have algorithms and a brain dead stupid onboarding and hyper cool phone apps, that will not do for 99% of the people.

There will always be two types of users: people looking to connect and people looking to be entertained. Fedi is better at the former and commercial better at the latter.

I would argue the latter group, searching entertainment, “lurkers” are always the bigger group.

Yes absolutely, and that’s why I don’t think commercial
socialmedia will die. But I do think it will come to more be associated with activities gambling or vaping.
