I was there for the collapse of LiveJournal, MySpace, Google Plus, and now Twitter.

I also host two livestreams a week. One where I read folklore with sfx & drama. The other where I write using Solo TTRPGs & live chat suggestions.

I feel like the reason , and the at large, aren't taking off has to do with the fact that they're actually social networks. People don't seem to want a social network, they want content platforms. People aren't using or or to keep up with their friends these days, they're using these apps to entertain themselves. And since and every other platform that used to be a social network began pivoting toward content promotion, I think society has forgotten what a social network is supposed to actually be anymore.

@Chozo the only point I disagree with is that people don't want a social media platform anymore. I think they do, I just think they have forgotten that's what social media is for. Considering there is zero advertising for this platform and a technical set up, the growth and daily activity of it is pretty impressive and hasn't slowed in months.

I've met more interesting people in 8 months here than I did 12 years on twitter. I hope others get a chance to see that value.
