I am only on here and Mastodon, is there a socialist argument to be on mainstream social media? (lemmygrad.ml)

I see many socialists on X and Instagram that are not on Mastodon, why is that? Is there a socialist argument as to why these organizations are still there, and should we join them?

Nobody uses mastodon. Orgs use platforms where they can reach an audience

Nobody uses Mastodon is a lazy analysis.

Do you want me to pull usage statistics for mastodon vs mainstream social media?

[–] ComradeIntergalactic@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Claiming "nobody is on Mastodon" is a lazy excuse to avoid it. The stats are clear that there is a stark difference, but regardless, organizations should be there too.

There isn’t really a good reason to spend resources on a platform that barely has any people on it.

defeatism, its empty because no one is there and im not going there because its empty so we're going to continue giving zuckerburg ad revenue
