  That’s something I’d love to be real but it’s not. Google is still dominating, as reddit and x, let alone meta or tiktok. There are small niches like us, but VERY small

    Just about everyone I know is on FB and/or IG. I know 4 ppl on BlueSky. Maybe 10 ppl on Signal. 0 ppl on fedi.

  Although we are heading in the direction the article says. We are definitely not there yet. Instagram and Facebook have huge amounts of contents and users consuming mindlessly, my dad uses facebook to watch manufacturing videos of factories in china all day and my mother looks at recipes and wedding dresses on instagram. These lurkers are not going anywhere and they are majority of the users on these platforms, X being an exception.

  Being on lemmy you might mistake yourself as there is a wave of social media downfall but if you truly look at big picture we are a small pond compared to huge lakes of users around the world with different age groups and interest.

    We’re not even a pond. We’re like a stone well. Or maybe even just a bucket.

    I don’t even think we’re heading in the direction of the article, we’re just a small deviation from the main road, I just hope we’re not riding a dead end road. But the biggest I can imagine for “us” is a situation like Linux in the early 2000s

    I come from a time before ftw meant “for the win”. From MY perspective, you just said “Fediverse Fuck The World”

    Which…I kinda like that.

      I feel like I’ve heard them both and not sure which came first. The context often works both ways, lol.

  Notice that in the “Connect with the Author” section your options are X and LinkedIn. All legacy social media.

      i think their point was the author should at least add new options, not necessarily get rid of the usual ones.

  most of them are more or less the same in the way they push content. mostly right wing drivel to drive traffic to the site, and getting them exposed to ads, conservatives content creates drama so its good business.
