Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.

I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!

@lemmy @LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it

Big twitter personas and companies is the enshittification that is trying to be avoided. The less of that and the more of regular people the better.

Why exactly would anyone want companies to advertise to them? This seems like only a bad thing to me.

Depends on what you use the platform for. I’ve used Twitter as a way to keep up with real time developments, shout at companies whose support does not respond to me and read some news stories occasionally. For the people part I usually went to Reddit.

Now for people like me, Mastodon does not seem to cut it. I’m not caving in and starting to use the official Twitter app, but the fact I’ve lost the platform that covers those use cases is kind of sad.
