    Lemmy has, what, like 70k MAUs? If everyone here stopped using these platforms (many of which im sure already use them very minimally) it wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket of big techs user base.

      My point was that you would think that Lemmy users of all people would at least be more open to dropping the big platforms. If most of the users here are pushing back, then we really are fucked.

        Yeah true, i do think it’s more grey than that though.

        For example, i don’t really love AI but i have to use it at work for my metrics because management wants to see utilization of it. So, there’s no possible way for me to avoid it entirely, i might as well use it on occasion for stuff outside of work at this point because im already a user whether I like it or not
