I’m not saying you were calling free market. I said you actually didn’t say that. lol

NO NONO NONO FK Rockstar!

yea Rednote is doing great I guess. But I wouldn’t call it “Free market”. Since it’s not. I know you didn’t say that. But just my opinion that is happening lately by the governments.

I did forget to add /s

But the fediverse is better right ;)? They can’t even ban it haha

I think it’s even better to not use these kind of ‘social media’ apps.

But what do all these TikTok users need to do suddenly? Talk to each other face to face? Doing something useful in live? Help?

I don’t agree at all with the lack of ambition.

Well the fact is yes, Mastodon is still relatively small compared to Facebook, X or Bluesky. Mastodon has actually 7,616,908 users total: https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon. Which is a huge number, but most likely a lot of bot accounts and non-active account to be honest.

Now the reason why is Mastodon is not as large as Bluesky is debatable. I actually blame ActivityPub protocol and the complex nature of trying to become a federated platform.

Let’s be honest now, most people do not care (or don’t have the technical knowledge) to understand federation or decentralization. Hence people will just jump to the easiest solution: A big centralized server, aka X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Bluesky. Same for search engines like Google.

Like what?

I do like to have full markdown support that is for sure.
