So last decade was filled with corporate social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, etc. And I mean it still is but perhaps if we play our cards right we can make 2020 the age of decentralized social media? Maybe we won’t end up being the top 5 pages on the internet but we just have to grab a good portion of people to compete more directly with the big corpos. Descripción

i agree with all of this. but, i’d also like to point out that i think i’m okay with sites like lemmy not having millions of users. even if there’s maybe less content than i’d like sometimes, and there’s not quite enough users for very niche communities to appear, i like how the quality of content here seems to be better than other major apps, and everyone is just… nicer. i feel like, if lemmy were to grow too big, some of these qualities would be lost, when they’re what makes it more enjoyable than reddit in some ways.
