      The fact that we’re here means it’s not a failure. Have you seen the stats on fediverse growth over the past few weeks?

      The total apathy and pessimism I see on reddit is crazy, let’s keep it over there.

        It’s not a failure. People who use it see the value in fediverse. But it will not overtake centralised social networking anytime soon.

      On what metric did Mastodon fail? It has a vibrant community and lively conversations. I have seen what counts as “succsses” by corporate standards - a site that is ad infested to the point of unusability, and where users are kept in a state od agitation by the algorhythm for maximum retention and exploitation. I hope that Mastodon, and Kbin/Lemmy never become a “succsses” by corpo silo standards.

      More than one person, and it’s just the beginning. I already left Reddit, I’m using Twitter less and less often, etc.
