As long as he keeps "meeting people where they are", that's where they will remain, and he is actively contributing to perpetuating that.

Mamdani is not that. No one is going to be creating a twitch account just to watch this, nor would they do it for some much smaller platform they've never heard of. Mamdani is not the one that will get people to move to new platforms, at least, not before he gets them more interested in the first place. Young people like him specifically because he reaches out to them on a personal level on platforms they actually use. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] artyom@piefed.social 0 points 5 months ago They will remain there until content creators they regularly watch and enjoy start moving. Mamdani is not that. Do you just not understand the "chicken and egg" scenario you're describing? Someone has to be first. No one is going to be creating a twitch account just to watch this ...and why not? Mamdani is not the one that will get people to move to new platforms Again I ask, why not? Why couldn't he be? Who better than someone with his influence, whose entire job it is to make life better for his constituents? Young people like him specifically because he reaches out to them on a personal level on platforms they actually use. No one likes him because of the platforms he uses. They're just already on those platforms. permalink fedilink source parent [–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 child) I would be happily surprised to learn that any of those sites could actually support the traffic this generated permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] artyom@piefed.social -2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) These are not sites, they're software. Much like Lemmy. They can support as much traffic as you build them to support. In an ideal world there would be federal servers set up, and every public servant would be entitled to an account.
