LinkedIn: Its the fucking Devil. Fuck it with fire. I truly truly despise it.
I just answer some recruiters there, and fuck off. Its so fake virtue signalling and woke. FUCK !
Comment on Wait... Regarding Elon Musk's kids....
masterofballs@wolfballs.com 2 years agoTwitter is the most vulnerable and the fediverse is making good strides eating up it's users. Really both gab and truth social are forks so they count in that. For active users I actually believe we are already at a half way point in destroying twitter. It just has the celebs. And they have been posting less and less.
Youtube is probably technically the most difficult to compete with but it's also the easiest to migrate off of. Most people are not deeply invested in their youtube account. They just go there to watch vids. Their subscription list is the only valuable thing. I use invidious running locally for that so I don't contribute to youtube. I actually do have a channel with a couple hundred subscribers I may grow just so I can direct them away from youtube.
This one is extremely vulnerable. Young people have already migrated away. 20 year olds don't use it. Facebook knows this and is trying to diversify.
I really liked this one and was only using it instead of facebook. Facebook bought it and I kept using it for a while. These days I don't post anything at all. Facebook fact checks all my funny memes and it's lame. I keep if for some language learning stuff.
The fediverse has a solid alternative but it's written in php, it's hard to install, it's bandwidth hungry
TikTok
They own this market. And I don't see any competitor coming anytime soon. Vine had the chance and ruined it.
You forgot to mention linked in. That would might get eaten up by git tea once federation is working well. Atleast for developers.
Someone should attempt a open source alternative.

It is a good tool to talk to recruiters and companies though. It's made looking for a job so easy when ever I need to.

Yea. Its the platform that's the most $$ profitable. I got bumped from 100k to 126k to 138k to 200k (not USD) this year, thanks to it .

Twitter's only competition... sadly, is Gettr. Platforms with long format content will not win Twitter audience retention. The format IS Twitter secret sauce

Youtube has more views, but in just 1 year, Rumble/Oddyssee views are 10x. Hope its not bots.

Facebook is only Grampa/Grammy now. That's why its so hard to kill. It will take decades, unless someone finds a way to push them to Gab/Truth

Tim Pool killed Gettr. I don't think it will grow substantially. Truth social has tons of potential here. It can't keep up with new user growth.
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years ago
Yes, he did. But what choice do you have ? The format is solid. Its either Twitter or Gettr
masterofballs@wolfballs.com 2 years ago
Gettr's policy are just like Twitter's. And their leadership is woke. I recommend a pleroma instance with twitter mirroring accounts you care about until truthsocial opens up to everyone. Then we absolutely split along political lines. Woke celebs will continue to use twitter. Truthsocial will be more inclusive and so will grow to eat up the rest of the market share. We still need people like Jordan Peterson, and Ben Shapiro to migrate to it. I could be wrong but I think it's in a much better position than Gettr over the next 5 years.

Gab Explore's Facebook format compared to Tweets, is bad for retention. Grampa generation. Younger + normies will find it boring:
