10 months agoI’m from a time on the internet when a sizable forum had a few thousand people registered and a few hundred active users. For people who want a 1:1 replacement for high volume, endless scrolling social media I guess any decline is bad. But frankly I am extremely “retvrn” about the pace and size of the old internet, so I’d still be happy with even fewer users, lol.
I completely agree with that, while at the same time just moving everyone that’s on Facebook/Xitter/Reddit/etc onto here just sounds like an absolute nightmare. 😂 I’m here to get less of that shit, the same way the internet in general was an escape for me before the age of mass social media.
In an ideal world I would love for mass social media to be broken up by the fediverse, just preferably where I don’t have to see it. That’s why I’m on Blahaj ✌️
