It really isn't. Twitter is still up despite musk and Reddit is still strong.despite this...you miss the aim. If the aim is egalitarian then yeah....but no the aim is to make personal money and power (in musk case it is political.platform like being a modern newspaper baron..the next Rupert Murdoch, spaz for the sweet sweet IPO for yacht.

It's exhausting seeing all these cringy "we're going to win with shitposts" things when all we really need is for people to post actual content.

Despite how quickly trends/content can age on the internet, you shouldn't mistake that for actual transitions in platforms.

There's a ton of logistical and infrastructure-related issues that need to be sorted out, but you're being defeatist if you don't think that just because there haven't been mass migrations within a year, any sort of shift is irrelevant.

Twitter and reddit have incredible momentum and it takes a long time to slow them down.

Just look at how desperate Twitter has been with their advertising - I don't think anyone would say they haven't suffered some incredible damage over the last 8 months
