MODERATORS
Because, unlike eYou, they don’t have €300K in seed capital. The fediverse has no marketing department and a €0 ad-spend budget.
Maybe we need to talk more about them.
4chan didn't have it either
4chan has good word of mouth: potty mouth.
well yeah back then most sites didn't have marketing like we do now
and the only reason 4chan blew up was thanks to that fox news tv report that called it the "internet hate machine"
It's true. That is why Mbin was not mentioned in this list..
