I feel like those pushing the alternatives don’t understand that most people do not care. And them not caring means fewer people on the platform. And fewer people on the platform makes the ones that do care…care less.
I was happy to leave reddit for Lemmy despite the lack of overall content because the stuff I want to see is (mostly) here and it’s a solo endeavor. But discord…? I’m in a dozen servers with different groups of people, most of them don’t want to deal with new platforms. I’d be running a Matrix server (and dealing with it’s development wors) for a couple of people and discord for the rest…so what’s the point?
I’m not even a discord fanboy…I’d LOVE to switch. But the reality is that I’d be leaving most of my friends and acquaintances behind if I did.
Some people just want to have their cake and complain about it used to taste better but is also 1m closer to them than a different cake (that tastes exactly like the old one because it was made by the same bakers who made the first one who got let go during a “restructuring” period at the first cake’s dev firm)… , too.
Doesnt seem like a very smart person.
