    No but they’re trying to manufacture the appearance that it’ll get better so you’ll stick around. It’s “baby I’m sorry, I know I fucked up but I promise I’ll change”.

    Though none of these platforms have tried to make money yet, there are a variety of business paths: Like Threads, platforms could turn to in-app ads, or like Mastodon, platforms could turn to grants, donations, and sponsorships. Since the business model shapes how the platform works, people would be free to set up shop on the platforms they prefer.

        I would argue that the only reason Reddit and the like is so popular was because of convenience. If the fediverse becomes convenient, people will post.
