    This is what I call the linux bubble. People who use linux and are used to alternate solutions, which may offer better performance than the norm. Then they surround themselves with other like minded people. So much so that they begin to forget that they are using alternatives rather than the norm. Despite what benefits they gain from alternatives, some people can’t grasp that they are, in fact, alternatives.

    Twitter has 368 million monthly users. I find it to be a cesspool of hate, racism, and right wing agenda.

    So you would think mastodon or bluesky would have equal or better numbers.

    Bluesky has 9.7 million monthly users, which includes a huge recent boost because of brazil ceasing twitters ability to operate. I think that alone was 2 million users.

    And mastodon has 975,000 monthly users.

    So yes, despite it’s flaws, twitter is still the default in microblogging. By a LOT. But I’m sure the feeling around here is “who still uses twitter???”.

    Everybody. Same way everybody uses google. Same way everybody uses instagram. And it’s not even close to being close.

      The fact I’m most flabbergasted about is that only a third of people use password managers by default. An independent American surveysource: bitwarden over 2000 “random” Internet users shows 34% use a password manager. The randomness of this survey is probably skewed, which would make the total percentage even lower in actuality.

        Which is insane since they’ve mostly been using iOSs or Androids built in password manager for as long as that’s been a thing on both. Doubt they even realize that’s what it is though.

    Probably 99%. This question was only meant to be taken as “I am above the common pleb, those idiots”

  You can’t actually believe the default search engine in most configurations isn’t used.

    My question was mostly a light jab at OP

  You honestly though the most used search engine has been abandoned by everyone? Maybe share what you’re using instead of just being pretentious?

    I totally honestly believed that. I’m just so naive, how do I get by in life? Thank goodness you’re here to set me straight. What would I do without you? How did you get so good at computers? You must be some kind of wizard.
