    It doesn’t help if the journalists don’t mention the Fediverse as an alternative. People will move to Discord, Facebook, Threads, or Instagram because they aren’t aware. 3 out of those 4 are owned by Meta.

      Well yea, they don’t mention the fediverse because none of the oligarchs that fund their employer own it, so they have no reason to promote it at all.

        That and the same oligarchs don’t wanna hand over control to open source. I remember the anti-Linux FUD in the late 90s-2000s.
