Here and there we see people earning and losing career over Twitter, Facebook posts, even if illusionary, it makes news.
When would Mastodon, Lemmy posts get enough traction to get into news?
Unlike them, Reddit has zero credibility, but still has many articles about it and internal reddit dramas.
Where would we as a fediverse reach the point ArsTech and others would refer to our post and comments as a proof of something?
We have a wet dream of them all relocating from X-itter to free platforms and self-hosting, but the first breaking point would be if they refer to us like we are real. When and how it would be? I don’t know.
Never.
And if they do, in thay case I’m leaving the fediverse as well. One of the main reasons why I’m here is because there is no “he said/she said” BS I see on mainstream social media. Grow up, it’s the internet, everyone has a voice. It’s not like he/she went and beat the crap out of you.
