Its kind of hard to say because I don't think X is giving out reliable numbers about their own monthly active users, so. ..

What aren't they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?

Yes, and if called out, they say it happens for freedom of speech, which is absurd given that the richest man on earth provides the infrastructure and has a large presence on the platform himself.

There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

For real. There’s a significant number of downvotes on this article even. What the hell?

As if. People disagreeing with you is not harassement. I guess almost no one want you to stop not eating meat.

I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!

Amen to that

I'm pretty sure most just don't know about us or don't care

Interesting! Is there a video of the event?

Blusky has 13 millions registered users but what about their monthly active users?

Mods are assholes is interesting, because its similar (but not the same as) all cops are bastards. Sure, a place where you dont need cops sounds great, but it also smells a lot like mass survailance or total anarchism (Mass survailance is walled garden internet and total anarchism is the fedi-pact).

Glad you like it :)

The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I'm not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don't need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).

I would recommend "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.
