Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.
information sources:
Surprised to see LinkedIn's 930 million MAU! I might have heard someone mention it irl like 2 times my whole life? But maybe that's cuz I'm not in the job market yet.
It has different aspects to it. Big part of it is job hunters i believe, but i use it mostly for promotion of my research, discussion with other researchers, policy discussions and following conferences / webinars and news about climate related stuff. I use it daily.
I'd be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users
🤨 when did Reddit overtake Twitter? Reddit used to be a niche destination that you’d barely see it in comparison to the other big name sites.
Facebook has like many thousands or even hundreds of thousands really dead accounts ( of dead people ), some of those accounts are just Oculus accounts as they got forced to create a facebook account, but i think those are very low in the hundreds or with low probability in the thousands.
LinkedIn isnt really a social network for me, its rather you state your past work and current work only then to get invited to 6 sessions of coding reviews.
Twitch is a entertainment platform ( like youtube ), not social media.
Slowly and steadily. This platform has potential.
Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.
Fuck LinkedIn. It's just gross, my feed is just full of shilling.
Is YouTube a socmed site?
Does it allow you to be social and participate in conversations?
So yes.
The content (the videos) are also made by its users, that used to be one of the key features of social media back when the term first appeared.
