Why does everyone keep thinking fedi needs to be the next "big thing."
It's great as it is. It doesn't need to be easier, or more widely adopted.
The internet used to be difficult to use and that acted as a filter to keep the brainless masses away. It's fine. It was BETTER back then.
The bigger a social platform gets, the more synergy it spawns. That's what adds utility to a social platform.
I don't think anyone here wants it to be 'the next big thing', but I do think a lot of people (myself included) want to see it become 'one of the next big things'. As in...we want it to become big enough to be a viable alternative to the proprietary walled-garden corporate establishments that have become the current standard.
More choice = better, and for as long as this platform remains small and elitist (referring back to your 3rd sentence), it will never truly be a viable choice. There's still a lot of engagement I'm required to use Reddit for - and I hate that - and the only reason for it is we just don't have the community size needed (yes, it's getting closer every day) to be that viable alternative.
“The bigger a social platform gets the more synergy it spawns”
What the fuck kind of corporate bullshit have you been brainwashed into. Small groups have plenty of synergy lmao. You’re making up excuses to grow the platform.
Is some growth good yea. Is becoming as big as everyone else is a good idea? You fucking tell me. Who’s that big and had a user base that isn’t being poisoned or exploited. (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc)
Keeping a reasonable size, just like anything else in this life, is the correct option. Obsessive growth leads to greed and misery.
Lemmy has long existed before these redditors came over so trying to put your logic here from your stockholm syndrome ass isn’t gonna fly.
Reddit tier aggression lol. Chill out and then we'll listen to what you have to say.
What exactly is wrong with his comment? He's right.
It came off as aggressive but they fixed it
What's wrong with a little aggression if you're making a solid point and straightening a few people out?
Thanks for calling me out fam
