Eugen's post about Threads integration
(discuss.tchncs.de)
I totally agree with him. This will bring more people to the fediverse once they realize they can interact with their friends on Threads
It’s already irrelevant, it’s never been. The Fediverse is well over a decade old and most people don’t know it exists.
It's irrelevant to you, but a community doesn't have to be massive for it to be important to it's users, it just has to be big enough for people to get something out of it regularly to keep the existing userbase engaged. Lemmy pre-migration is a great example. But if enough people leave in a short timespan it's really hard to keep the remaining userbase engaged after that drop-off. XMPP is a good example of this actually happening, I had a bunch of friends on there for years. When google pulled the rug, a lot of users lost a lot of their reasons for sticking around. It's a shell of itself now.
XMPP was largely irrelevant before Google and went back to being that way after Google and a bunch of newer tech. It wasn’t directly connected to Google. Nothing outside of someone’s blog would even indicate that. I didn’t say it’s irrelevant to me. To me is not important. Globally and in terms of social media it is in fact irrelevant. Not even sure why you said irrelevant to me that doesn’t even match the context
Relatively, yes. But look at what happened in the last two years: https://fedidb.org/
