Currently at different #Fediverse #Mastodon admins' locations, while they're dealing with the additional load related to #DeleteFacebook:
@jerry
Yeah, #deletefacebook is a good opportunity to get more users to alternative social media
@rysiek
@rysiek @KitRedgrave kinda surprised, since mastodon doesn't really even get close to FB's niche. I mean, good for the network, but odd…
@kelly_clowers @KitRedgrave FB is not niche. Fediverse is sucking out the people who do feel they need a niche instead, methinks.
@rysiek @kelly_clowers @KitRedgrave no, not niche as small, I mean like biology. FB is longform, has (semi-)threaded replies, pages, and groups. And while used in different ways, IME more likely to be used for family and offline friends than interesting strangers.
@kelly_clowers @KitRedgrave ah yes, I see what you're saying.
Still, people are dropping FB and looking for something new, I guess. How many will stay, that's a separate question.
@rysiek it is true of today... somehow I've stayed up, but not easily.
@rysiek I wondered why so many people were creating accounts.
