    I thought FOMO would hit me, but it didn’t. I like that I can recognize most users, that conversations are small and that it isn’t a popularity contest gorging on corporate interests.

    That said, I’m always worried that the 'ole lemmy/mbin thing depends on a very select group of users whom are very active publishers.

    Then again, that’s how my favorite site on the internet was for a-la-la-la-long time.

      You’re not the only one. That’s why wheb people tell me “we don’t need one million users”. Yes sure we don’t, but 100k-200k would be nice

        Wikipedia started having very few but also very dedicated users.

        My concern is that lemmy/mbin servers have an imbalance on posting users where a selected few do most of the posting.

    I have never used X/Twitter, quit Facebook 15 years ago, and haven’t touched another Meta product. Reddit got me though, still does. Since most people have no clue what a fediverse is, it will continue to be as popular as IRC and NNTP.

    That was too long. It takes too long to get to the point. What are the main points? “Enshittification”? If that’s the main point, then I don’t think the prediction is correct. People can take a lot of shit as long as they believe.
