It seems like due to the downfall of Twitter and Reddit, people will be moving to the Fediverse instead, and since there is not much here, people won't be addicted to it anymore.

Additionally, it's open-source and de-centralized as well, which omits censorship. What do you guys think?

Well, something will change, which is that Meta will be strengthening their monopoly over most major social media sites

Meh. Does it really matter which psychopathic, emotionally stunted billionaire steals your personal data and controls your access to information? It's not like they won't sell it all to each other under the table for the right price anyway. What people have to do is get out from under the thumbs of anyone in Zuck or Musk's position.

Well, no, it doesn't really matter who it is, Meta happens to be the one in that position, it's more the idea that monopolies are bad for basically anything.

I agree. Cartels, which are what we have now between Meta, Twitter and Google, are just as bad as monopolies.
