    Anyone think Fediverse active userbase is going to fall as much too, only slower? That most people will return to their comfy commercial social networks now that the reddit and twitter demonstrations is in the past?

    I’m hoping not. I like it this active. I don’t want to go back to ads and “personalised” feeds and yearly new useless features.

      I don’t think so. If you look at Mastodon it could actually keep most of its users and still seems to be growing.

      Of course I don’t know what the future holds for us.

      I came here due to the reddit drama and I’m definitely staying. Just like you, I like it here. The hardest part was actually making the switch, creating an account and finding communities to join. Now that that’s out of the way, I really have no reason to go back. Reddit has become a hostile place, admins are actively fighting users and especially mods and I just don’t feel comfortable there anymore.

      It’s like going to a restaurant where the owner is hitting the waiters and some of the guests. Doesn’t matter how good the food is, doesn’t matter if they’re hitting me or not, I’m never going back to that place.

      I don’t think so, people who joined already are here for philosophical reasons that are stronger than FOMO or slight technical discomfort, and the platform is already good enough to keep us entertained.
