I get the feeling but you will need to build some patience here.

It’s really hard to move people from social media and they have to do it willingly otherwise we just create a ghost town here. What I do is try to share links when I see something someone might enjoy so they see there’s other social media and sometimes I got asked like: “what was this social media like a twitter alternative?” And then you explain because they are interested but even then, the majority of cases they won’t switch just because of that.

The only thing we can do is keep using it, keep improving it and when things get even worse than they are on monopoly land, we will be ready to take them :)

I mean the decision you are doing of leaving reddit and joining the fediverse is a political one and people who joins here is not because there’s more people or something like that so this means there’s a bias in the community towards caring about this things, and it will be like this until the fediverse doesn’t become the default (if it ever happens). So just take this into account, as people say, use less the all if that bothers you.
