It’s where the useful idiots are being herded. They are using it because it’s “not twitter” and other people are influencing them. They don’t care about decentralization.
Would have been nice if they went to Mastodon, but I wouldn’t call them idiots. I don’t use that media format, but if there isn’t a lot of users there, I cant see the service being that useful to the users who do go there. It’s like Lemmy struggles with niches. Not enough people, want to find something or ask someone about something, you’ll hit a wall and find yourself looking for results elsewhere. Someday hopefully, but that movement from Twitter would have been a great time for activity pub to shine if it hadn’t gotten skipped over
Yup. I don’t think the average user is even aware of the debate over decentralization. All they wanted was a new twitter, and Bsky was the closest. That’s it.

Why should they care about decentralization anyway? Isn’t number of users and ease of content discovery far more important?
