Read this if you want a reminder why people still hang out on #X / #Twitter , #Facebook , #Instagram and so forth.
A lot of people on the #Fediverse assume that the social communities on these platforms could simply reform on the Fediverse. But this isn't going to happen. When a social platform crashes, its social communities are usually gone permanently.
I mean, I made the decision to leave Twitter, but I do miss a lot of the awesome people there whom I interacted with. And for others, the loss would be _far_ more acute.
So instead of being moralistic about ordinary users on other platforms, we should work harder to build awesome communities here - hopefully ones that are more diverse than what the Fediverse has right now.
