Yikes.
They're leaving like redditors to Lemmy. There's dozens of them!
Oh come on. Another centralised social media service that could be compromised. Wtf is wrong with these people
I don't really fault them when they don't know there is an alternative. And the alternative isn't clear cut and/or very good.
I do fault them for when they think that the platform is the solution and don't expect the same thing to happen.
They follow what is advertised. Fediverse, by its nature, doesn't have money for this. There was a push for Mastodon, though.
Here's an idea. How about we abandon ragebait shortform slop/garbage aggregators entirely, and stop rewarding them with excessive device permissions and personal data.

Literally anything but FOSS, huh?
Out of the frying pan and into a cold frying pan.

They are switching in huge numbers. Literally dozens!
