God. All I can think about is how this feels like a Voat situation. I really really hope not, but I have a bad feeling. I haven't seen a ton of activity since I came in, but maybe I need to look harder.
At least I found mastodon. I feel like that could blow up.
There was an influx from Twitter, but last I saw most of them returned to twitter and it's back to just barely above where it was before the twitter exodus. Federated sites are just too unappealing visually, in lack of content, and in difficulty to use.
