  • I agree. Obviously for people like us in the minority, the big social media platforms are the stuff of nightmares. But for your average person, Friendica and Pixelfed and so on would be shit because they have no people and no content. And to a large extent, none of the addictive dark patterns.

    Personally I don’t even bother trying to explain to people unless they ask about what platforms I use and why. And I still think it’s great that alternative platforms exist, I sure as hell wouldn’t discourage people from using them nor do I think the developers should just give up because it seems pointless. A little is better than nothing.
