Lmk if you find any, I'm sure there are some.

I think they have been stedaily dying since mid 2000 when reddit facebook entered the stage, don't they? The biggest ones and few niche ones somehow still preserve, but not sure if they are growing. The question is what will happen with the rise of new web (fediverse, web3, etc) - will we see people migrating to them again or not necessarily? I mean fediverse is like forums as well. Plus it offers one account for everything.
O shit, thats a lot. And that gave him only like 15 mln$. I mean ok thats a lot but comparing this to for example Mark's fortune its not. Damn I would short that stock if I could.
reddit CEO Hoffman and executives sell their reddit shares 5 days after IPO 😂😂😂
CEO Steve Huffman and others disclosed sales days after the IPO.
btw Why is the link displayed like that? "access denied"...
Ooh XD sorry dint know why but i thought you meant ads on my instance XD
That's interesting but. I don't think people would click honestly. Does any instance do it?
Oh ok. No, I prefer the ui to be clean.
Ads? What do you mean?
Meta won't have any leverage anymore. Any company can join fediverse. And anybody can just move to different instance so they avoid stupid advertisments on threads or wherever. Meta is finished.
Ok guys, just quick thoughts after reevaluating the situation with the instance
So it's been 1,5 months since I started the instance. People I invited from reddit basically don't post anything. LIke null. I recently made an announcement on Mastodon, two people from there joined and I think they like it, cause they post. But It's not like I imagined. I posted on X, invited people on reddit, tried also on fb. Still have only about 20 people here.
The amount of time I spend on these invitations, posting to keep instance alive, keeping up with the lemmy updates, managing the infrastructure of the instance is just big. And the counter of users looks freezed. If it was going up, thats another story. So that got me thinking. I had to reevaluate.
In short I think it's a very long game, and we should keep that in mind. I'm still confindent in the fedi but that revolution will come slowly. And I think, at least for me inviting people and trying to forcefully post may be somewhat counterproductive as there are gaziliion ways to act to make the world and people's lives around us better. And creating fediverse instances is not my only talent. So I'm cutting some time on that and moving it to other projects I have in mind.
Ofc I will still maintain, keep up with lemmy and UI updates, post here and there but just less. The bond that connect people with X, with facebook, reddit are so strong that it's just crazy. But I guess I can understand. I was once one of them, until I hit the wall with what's possible on these platforms in terms of the content that is being displayed, opinions and style of discussion. It has to be a long game. Honestly I hope for some reddit fuckup in the near future though I'm not sure. Look at how much trash is on FB and people are still using it (maybe messenger is the only thing that keeps them there though. And groups)
