All I know is that Meta is probably here because everyone is bailing to Mastodon, especially journalists.
I wouldn’t exactly say that everybody is bailing on Mastodon. I don’t like the Twitter format, but a lot of people prefer that over a threaded set up like Reddit/Lemmy/Threads. Right now, the only other option is Twitter, and Musk is actively burning that to the ground.
I just wish Mastodon would stop catering to mobile people and give me browser width space that’s not the size of a large potato.
Fuckin Fox News threw up an outpost, they’re all there, the userbase is ramping up past 8mil.
Right-wing assholes gonna asshole their way into the platform with the most corporate influence, while still pretending they are “rebelling” and “sticking it to the man”. Fox News are the Kings of Astroturfing. Not surprising at all.
