Capitalism needs meat for the grinder. This is the heart of forced birth as well. Dying means you’re escaping.

This topic has opened my eyes to how many of you still have your foot in the door with Reddit. I’m shocked, honestly.

They always could? These are public facing platforms. You’re being scraped by far more than just meta.

The reason why other communities/social media sites have so much content is that they’re massive with millions, or in the case of Facebook, BILLIONS of users. Lemmy/Kbin is a fraction of a fraction by comparison, and people are mostly used to browsing without contributing. New platforms tend to suffer because of this and ultimately die off. You need that snowball effect to happen quickly like what is happening right now on Threads. Sadly only established mega corps have a good chance at succeeding in the long run.
