Capitalism needs meat for the grinder. This is the heart of forced birth as well. Dying means you're escaping.

Some had even claimed Dat Boi to be meme Christ.

Can't you just use a rss reader to see their articles?

Mastodon is where the intelligent people are filtered to from Twitter. The idiots end up on Threads.

This topic has opened my eyes to how many of you still have your foot in the door with Reddit. I’m shocked, honestly.

Here here. I just hope people stay. I’ve already known a couple people that have reopened Reddit accounts unfortunately.

@renwillis They just announced they won't be a news platform like twitter. Deleted my account. I have no interest in a platform for influencers.

They always could? These are public facing platforms. You’re being scraped by far more than just meta.

The reason why other communities/social media sites have so much content is that they’re massive with millions, or in the case of Facebook, BILLIONS of users. Lemmy/Kbin is a fraction of a fraction by comparison, and people are mostly used to browsing without contributing. New platforms tend to suffer because of this and ultimately die off. You need that snowball effect to happen quickly like what is happening right now on Threads. Sadly only established mega corps have a good chance at succeeding in the long run.
