Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.
information sources:
Don't think this is accurate. E.g how is LinkedIn bigger than Twitter?
I'd be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users
Is userbase proportional to area or radius?
it's area.
Slowly and steadily. This platform has potential.
I wonder how many users Matrix has?
Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.
Fuck LinkedIn. It's just gross, my feed is just full of shilling.
if the fediverse gets to hundreds of millions of users, we'd better hope that we solve for moderation.
Is YouTube a socmed site?
Does it allow you to be social and participate in conversations?
So yes.
The content (the videos) are also made by its users, that used to be one of the key features of social media back when the term first appeared.
I don’t care how big or small it is, as long as it remains real.
I believe I’ve seen more organic conversation in the fediverse than I have on any other platform.
It’s either bots, ads or ad bots everywhere else.
Being tiny makes it less appealing to the megacorp cunts that would want to ruin it.
We can only imagine how the internet was to the natives before the eternal September.
