And yet there are so, so many people that don't seem to be able to pull themselves away from it.
I really don't get it.
For the reason above. There's not a serious alternative that replaced it for those people.
I never seriously used twitter (I probably have used it less than 10 hours total), but what really is stopping people from getting on mastodon? It's the same thing, and is extremely easy to sign up for.
It's right there, not that I have much of a desire to use it, but if people like twitter, is it just that not enough people are on it? Just the network effect?
Twitter has more people, meaning more content. It's the same reason I still have Reddit downloaded.
