not that surprising really - many, MANY people are fed up with centralized link aggregation/social media/reddit in general & the fediverse is an excellent option

I'm tired of capitalism and greed ruining everything I love!

This is why I’m here finally. I didn’t hear about this until the Reddit shenanigans. Finally took the plunge.

I'm not that optimistic. I think MANY people are fed up with this particular case of a centralized site being annoying, but do not really care about anything other than getting their dopamine fix, and will happily jump into sack with next big social media site, centralized or not. Most people just don't care.
