As someone else mentioned here, these other centralized platforms often advertise heavily on subreddits like /r/RedditAlternatives, and they do seem to have some people on there. Does anyone know if they are attracting a lot of people or why people prefer to join other centralized sites before joining e.g. Lemmy? Are they a "threat" to the growth of fediverse platforms like Lemmy, Mbin or just experiments that'll fail sooner or later?

They are sometimes reccomended above lemmy, as they are centralised, but they have very few active users. The "vibe" on all of them is pleasant, and most of the discussion is high quality, but the same is true here.

Duscuit seems to have around 200 weekly active users, so.. Not really

A centralized solution is just going to enshittify

We should go advertise the fediverse on them, they're holding us back as a society

Thats like going to bluesky to evangelise mastodon. It won't work imo.

I learned about lemmy on reddit?

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

I know, but reddit has far more users than these tiny sites, who may already be devoted to them.

anyone has a guess or estimate how many users does raddle have? it doesn't look like a lot

[–] Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, at least I respect raddle for what it is. I like their agenda more than... Whatever agenda the rest have (usually to someday enshittify and try to make a coin)

between that place having slow burn drama between all of 10 actual active posters + one perpetually banned and re-registering usual suspect and their head admin using alts to stir shit for their own entertainment (they ended that, months ago for some years now, if you want to believe them) i'll have none of that, thanks
