I've been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone's a skeptic. I've heard a lot of people saying that they're just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven't heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I'd like to leave fb/instagram, but like many others, all my friends are on there. I'm not against defederation from meta to preserve the sanctity of what we have. (Although I know many of you might be for it as well.) But in a perfect world, I wish that meta would fall apart and all of my friends would switch from instagram over to pixelfed and we would have a great, non corporate internet again.

What do you think?

I've mentioned it to a couple friends, especially when they complained about losing their favorite subreddits and comments being deleted, but as far as I know they haven't moved over. I'm not pushy or anything about it though, I just casually drop it in conversation, like "oh I was on kbin today and saw this thing, blah blah blah..."
That being said, we don't follow each other on other types of social media/forums, so why would we here? They'll keep doing whatever they're doing, and I'll be happy here.
