    I kind of understand Reddit, but why do people hang in there with Twatter when there are currently three grown ass alternatives?

      Heh, it took me a minute to think of a third one after Mastodon and Bluesky.

      Totally forgot about Meta’s thing.

        This is called the “network effect,” so called after the Murderbot novel of the same name (recommended). It’s what makes social medias, aggregators, and service platform so “sticky.” It’s what makes platform-capitalism work.

        It also makes nice things work too, ofc.
