X lost millions of active users after being banned in Brazil
-
X has lost an estimated 40 million monthly active users in Brazil after the social network was banned in the country.
-
@Fitik and Fediverse only gained a few thousand.
We're losing because of the lack of moderation tools.
People don't always want to be a part of the moderation process. Matter of fact, I'd say most don't.
Therefore, people will just block and mute, and if it keeps happening, they'll leave.
If user reports continue to be the only way for moderation to happen, Fedi fails.
I've been beating this drum for almost a year and it really feels like it's never going to get fixed, unfortunately.
-
@BeAware BlueSky does have some moderation features that Fedi doesn't have, like moderation lists or labelers, but I don't think this is the main reason, Threads have even less of them and they gain much more users
-
@Fitik I'm talking moderation on a level that a user cannot do themselves.
Blocking and muting are not moderation, they're user tools to limit your feed, nothing more.

In my case, I have the technical knowledge and spare hardware to host a small server. But, I find the value is too low for me to put in the effort
Back in the day, in Reddit you could actually learn something, push your hobby, share some laughs. Reddit of course became a dumpster fire and I find it’s almost the same here
As a user, no matter how I filter and tinker I cannot escape the diarrhea of USA politics in all communities; and to boot, any variation from the herd’s opinion is met with instant insults
Today I find the fediverse is almost as bad as Reddit, only kept in check by the smaller size to be honest.

@Cock_Inspecting_Asexual you can try Mbin. It's the only other alternative, but the layout is very similar.
UI is very subjective, but Reddit's is not really enjoyed by the masses since it changed 5-10 years ago, so I'm guessing that these UIs are trying to appeal to those people who don't like Reddits "new" corporate looking UI.️
