The same can be said about Lemmy and Reddit, but look where we are.

We need to support open-source projects and stop being simps for bad companies like Google.

The difficulty is asking people to get started with this. People want to get to work/navigate as quickly as possible to where they need to be, they don't want to be figuring it out. Social media can be janky and you'll be patient, but if you're late for something because you're struggling to adjust to an app you're more likely to go back to Google/Apple Maps

Lemmy vs Reddit

Monthly Users (0.004%) 44k vs 1.2b

With 700 million bots conducting marketing and psychological warfare ops it is!
