It’s quite interesting as I think the twitter migration put the focus on mastodon for a while and this place became quieter and then Reddit didn’t want to be left out so the spotlight is now here and kbin. If only Instagram could join the fun pixelfed would get a bump.
The number of companies owned by Metaface is so stupid. People really do give up their privacy for money, or in the case of Instagram, to quench their thirstiness.
It sucks that the draw of Facebook is still such a primal one, connecting with people and getting that gossip. None of that is worth its continued existence.
Real friends are in your contacts list, not on a website.
