That’s just it. Zuck could sell off and close shop and live large for the rest of his life. And yet he chooses to fuck around with people instead.

It’s weird.

There’s creating. And then there’s harvesting content and creations of others. The former is the only one that makes you interesting.

I’ve heard of it just now.

The issue is going to be: what are my friends already using? Can I find and friend all my new acquaintances on this platform?

It’s not so much whether or not it has the capacity to be a great service, it’s what is the current population on the service? That’s what people are really asking.

If there’s not millions on it already, most are going to pass on it.

We’re on Lemmy, that puts us a bit outside of that perspective, but that’s still going to be your fat middle of the bell curve on peoples willingness to move.

OfferUp is really the only FBM replacement out there. I’m just assuming that’s 1/2 of what keeps most people around. The other being that messenger, in spite of its complete lack of privacy, still hosts the largest bulk of people, for finding acquaintances and such if needed.

Signal or WIRE should be the obvious replacement for the latter but our Congress working efficiently and effectively for the people is an easier task than moving a single individual off messenger and into Signal or WIRE. You’ll probably have to no contact people on text to get them to switch.

It’s nice over here, it’s not the same 15 questions across subs every 3 days. It’s not the same recycled stories ad nauseam. And, there’s more Gowron.
