Life is always preparing for the next cataclysm but fediverse is preparing for corporations hemorrhaging users. I keep looing at numbers and different sources show that there's a peak in MAU when Elon buys twitter, but then slowly falls over time. I'm curious if anyone has noticed a drop off, or if the peak had some crazy amount of posts and comments?

side note: I'm trying to help build up the fediverse streamer community get the people that want to watch streamer with people that want to watch streamer, but I have only noticed minor improvements. like streamers are connecting with other streamers, and one account has said that they got a boost. nothing to suggest that new members have joined from outside the fediverse streamer.

Idk how you exploit content. It's ussually the creators that get exploited. The idea is you put the content out there and put an impression on people so eventually they start thinking about them think about comming to Lemmy. I got nothing if you don't want to support x or twitter by crossposting from Lemmy.

I still say Lemmy/fediverse needs to build more niches community's up more than it needs to market so that way people stick around or engage more, so people don't drop off the platform from boredom

And I'm saying after cross posting for years nobody cares and they are all happy to read your posts on Musks or Zuckerbergs platform surrounded by ads and making those billionaires even richer.

Those people will not switch as long as you put the content conveniently there, there is no incentive for them. And even once you stop they still will not move from there because it's just too convenient to not move.

I for one don't want to put more money into billionaires pockets, therefore I'm advocating against cross posting automatically.

I know Instagram puts it's content on Facebook to get people to sign up for Instagram. I know they're both meta.

It's pretty intrusive, but it's evidence that it works.

But I'm more on the lines of make more features
