I don't get why a group of users that are willing to run their own LLMs locally and do not want to relay on centralized corporations like openAI or google prefer to discuss using a centralized site like Reddit

@acec I think it's a mix of reasons why really;

  1. They've been using it for years
  2. A lot of there favourite subs are on there and they are admins of those subs giving them power
  3. A good amount of them don't know about the Fediverse and that they could run a similar sub on the Fediverse
  4. Change, a good amount of Redditors are most likely Autistic and don't want things to change.

Niche subs on Reddit are more active, making them more useful in a simple Catch 22.

Basically the way all shitty social media retains market share, the users go where the users are.

@Serinus It's why I hope that smaller Niche subs do move away as they won't get as much views.

Not just redditors, but people in the tech sector.
