I actually never got into it. I just remember it was better than this TikTok crap.

The videos only being 6 seconds long really helped with the appeal.

I don’t even know what that means. Tik Tok is a stand alone social network. I also don’t understand the need to have decentralized replacements for every social network. It’s also not realistic because the fediverse isn’t about profit and that’s what lead corporations and massive development teams to create these apps. People have to come over organically and there are already good experiences. A crappier version of an app or service they like isn’t going to convince casuals.

I would say they are not about profit yet. Eventually everyone sells out if the price is right.

Everyone here gets bent when anything Fediverse related takes any money. I’m not sure how people expect these apps to develop.
