Xerox was a household name !
Agree with the sentiment. It's not like we are not in a bubble, but the old fashioned business and growth of the 20th century is gone. With technology things scale incredibly so winning the market share can put you on top for decades, and not just with finances. At this point the power and control of information means everything
yea it is a lot of tribalism and then corps leverage it for their gain
I feel like the incentive for corpo/astroturf/spam bots is not really there to visit fediverse. So let us remain unpopular !
Going to play V rising with the homies
This stat page is awesome. It is OK if the fediverse does not grow all the time, I believe it is the future for me personally.
Now that people are locked into their quick-endorphin zombie scrolling, I am not sure there is as much novel incentive to participate in the internet. Like contributing any content beyond viewing/liking. I lurked mostly and participated only in obscure niches. Now I am returning a la the fediverse. It is great that this is not a growth motivated platform so much, it is a community valuing quality. Dozens of us !
The corps can serve up slop for the zombies, enjoy!
