Each time one of these for profit social media platforms fails or gets cancelled or whatever, some portion of the userbase switches to the Fediverse.
My hope is that eventually we will reach a critical mass where that portion makes up a majority of the transfers, at which point we will have successfully dismantled the industry of walled-garden social media.
