I still don’t understand why anyone would still be using Twitter today
Lots of content I want to see is on Twitter and the alternatives those content creators use are like Instagram or even worse. If I have to choose between Twitter and Instagram, then Twitter is the obvious choice, still.
Every once in a while I check who is now on Mastodon, and I am always happy when I see a few more users I like. But then I look and many people rather look for Project 92 or Bluesky from Jack instead of just joining Mastodon.
Is there a reason why this is the case? Could it be because it’s a publicity thing where it’s created by tech billionaires that’s why they prefer them over anyone else?
Smaller communities may mean fewer posts, but once a community hits a critical limit, it's still more posts than most people will read in a day.
This is only really an issue for really niche communities that haven't migrated here yet, and if all they find here when they come to explore is the exact same posts as on Reddit, but with no comments, then what's even the point of moving?
If they didn't come out of the principle of what Reddit is doing, then it will be the content that ultimately makes them move. And that content needs to be different, and better, than what they can get on Reddit. Not the same, but with zero comments.
This question gets asked every day almost. We don’t need to do that. Just be active here and post. Browse under all and not local and you will see posts from other instances and see way more content.
I feel like the best reddit posts are going to make their way over here anyway, the same way the best tweets, tiktoks, or tumblr posts made their way to reddit.
I don't think there needs to be a bot reposting everything that gets posted over there, considering all the mod removals and malicious compliance protests mean that overall content quality will likely decline going forward. I can see it getting very spammy very quickly.
