X, Meta and the Great Social Media Meltdown

[vodkasolution@feddit.it]

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

Fediverse ftw

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

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.

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.

So are you like...16 or 60?

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.

[ledericas@lemm.ee]

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.

This is you.

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