    Because most alternatives aren’t nearly as functional due to them dominating the market.

      Yes alternate platforms with good level of UX exists. But without content its no good. YouTube - Peertube Google maps - Organic maps & OSMAnd (open street maps) Reddit - Lemmy (bigger is better)

        Google Maps actually sucks for things like hiking and trails, there’s a lot of better alternatives like Maps.me.

        For the others, maybe. But YouTube? It’s strength is in the sheer amount of content. It’s going to take a lot of time and resources to create and host that content on the fediverse.
