I’m doing my part!

43 here. IT consultant. Have been on every social media platform since Myspace all the way back to Usenet if you want to consider that social media which is what is basically was. On the major platforms these days, I mostly lurk and DM with fam and friends along with small Discord groups. Since joining the fediverse, and more specifically Lemmy, I’ve been much more active commenting and posting then I’ve been in years. I actively encourage friends and fam to join, but the fact is the fediverse is young and isn’t as user friendly. It has to reach a critical mass of ease of use and user adoption which is what’s being driven up right now like all other platforms before it. The more people join, the more it will be streamlined, feeding back to usability so more people discover and join, etc. etc. This is how all platforms evolved except in the case of the fediverse, it isn’t controlled by a single entity which has its pluses and minuses. I don’t expect MetaThreadBook, Reddit, Twitter, et al to go anywhere anytime soon, but diversification and competition is always good. If we can reach critical mass with the fediverse, it will provide a good check against these monopolistic entities and hopefully result in better overall communities and interactions.
