There really needs to be some dedicated lemmy instances to gather/grow topical communities… I can’t quite wrap my head around why people set up topical mastodon instances rather than lemmys, given that local mastodon posts generally don’t stick to a topic.

In find it incredible that even through all this, there will be users that will not look for alteratives.

I don’t think mastodon would ever be a destination for teens. But the idea that maybe one group of your mates in on service x and another on service y and you can connect due to a shared protocol is still a draw.

Not sure it matters. Could a decentralised open protocol become a mammoth? Hope so

Netflix hasn’t felt indispensable for a while, could be the last straw.

If they could have Ai generated songs written and performed by ai generated artists, combined with ai generated social media they’d love it.
