I am in some pretty high quality facebook groups, meta made 118B in the last year, it’s very far from dead, If we want to build something better i think some modesty would be useful.
Far too many people in the fediverse are unwilling to look at where it is falling short of serving as a replacement for the current centralized social media platforms. They would rather write articles about how the fediverse is different that’s good and we sure do hope no smell ol jocks come dragging down the vibe of our exclusive nerd hangout.
It’s real crab mentality.
I want the fediverse to go mainstream but a lot of people very clearly only want to have it as their exclusive little hipster hang out.
@jackalope Facebook has become nothing more than a social media advertising platform. Every third feed for me was an ad.
