Meta's forthcoming layoffs will reportedly eliminate about 10% of its workforce, even as Q1 profits hit $26.8 billion and AI spending rockets toward $145 billion this year alone.
I guess most people are. I am to a degree, but only with family private message chats. That network effect is like cement. So theres not much chance for someone like me to talk about the fediverse on other aocial media. Maybe this experience is common. I think there was a post asking about this the other day that gor pretty high up the ‘All’ feed.
Yeah like I want to tell people how easy it is, and how much better things are here, but I sure as shit am not going to make an X or Bluebird account to do it. So at most I just yack about it to other nerds on my lunch break
Hahaha!!! Oh to be a fly on the wall in your lunch room! 😆😆
I’ve generally found it difficult to communicate why the fediverse, or even the social web is better than these walled gardens run by private companies. I think a lot of people haven’t had a motivating moment to shift. I’s always skeptical of fb, never really liked the set up, so i suppose i hadn’t had the same investment into the account like others.
Although I gave up Youtube also, and I used that a lot more. But that was more a ‘viewing’ account, rather than social media communication. So different reasons driving that I think.
