I thought FOMO would hit me, but it didn't. I like that I can recognize most users, that conversations are small and that it isn't a popularity contest gorging on corporate interests.

That said, I'm always worried that the 'ole lemmy/mbin thing depends on a very select group of users whom are very active publishers.

Then again, that's how my favorite site on the internet was for a-la-la-la-long time.

That was too long. It takes too long to get to the point. What are the main points? "Enshittification"? If that's the main point, then I don't think the prediction is correct. People can take a lot of shit as long as they believe.

I learned a lot about my last ten years reading that

I have never used X/Twitter, quit Facebook 15 years ago, and haven't touched another Meta product. Reddit got me though, still does. Since most people have no clue what a fediverse is, it will continue to be as popular as IRC and NNTP.
