This is not going to be a blogpost about "Why do people still use Reddit instead of everyone moving to Lemmy?". I noticed that even with Mastodon users, who already understand and like the advantages of decentralized platforms, the usage of Lemmy is extremely small, and more people use Reddit. Most of them haven't even heard of Lemmy. To be fair, the Reddit usage also seems to be fairly low.

"nobody", nearly 50k people.

Asking people on mastodon if they use lemmy also doesn't make much sense to me. I don't use mastodon because it's not threaded, people on mastodon probably don't use lemmy for a similar reason. I'm not sure how many people use both threaded and unthreaded platforms, but it feels to me like the two layouts attract different people.

Then there are psychos like me who use both, and Bluesky, and other social media and have a personal blog.

Bag 'm and tag 'm folks, get this psychopath out of here. If we allow this, what's next? We'll allow people who use friendica?

I haven't logged into my bluesky account since like ages. Mainly because I'm using my real Identity there, which I'm not comfortable with talking online. I love anonymity. I speak a little more off my mind because I'm anonymous.
