It does say a lot though that I’ve seen comments in this very thread suggesting rednote as a tiktok alternative. So people just doing the same thing all over again even if they use the fediverse.

I just don’t have much expectations of people changing. Better to just be happy that at least those of us that are “weird” due to being fine with being somewhat cut off from rest of mainstream social media have those options now. So not too concerned about numbers increasing, since it was never much an expectation.

Old school forums didn’t need more than a few hundred or maybe a thousand active users to be happy compared to the millions people have come to expect now.
