As someone else mentioned here, these other centralized platforms often advertise heavily on subreddits like /r/RedditAlternatives, and they do seem to have some people on there. Does anyone know if they are attracting a lot of people or why people prefer to join other centralized sites before joining e.g. Lemmy? Are they a “threat” to the growth of fediverse platforms like Lemmy, Mbin or just experiments that’ll fail sooner or later?
anyone has a guess or estimate how many users does raddle have? it doesn’t look like a lot
Well, at least I respect raddle for what it is. I like their agenda more than… Whatever agenda the rest have (usually to someday enshittify and try to make a coin)
between that place having slow burn drama between all of 10 actual active posters + one perpetually banned and re-registering usual suspect and their head admin using alts to stir shit for their own entertainment (they ended that, months ago for some years now, if you want to believe them) i’ll have none of that, thanks
