How many people actually used it? Personally, I'm only just starting to switch to alternative platforms now that everything is going to shit, and I think this may be true for many others. It's going to suck if they manage to shut down all the new platforms before the rest of us can make a proper exodus.

This is why "alternative platforms" are stupid if regular, everyday people don't join.

Meanwhile self-segregation is letting the mainstream turn into a propaganda machine.

Yeah the self-segregation is a downside, but I think the platforms are just crystallizing that way as a result of culture. I would still be on reddit (there are more active users) if they hadn't banned half the subs I enjoyed. If our culture ever recovers to a point where we don't just permaban everyone to the left/right of us then maybe we can have those open forums back.
