In 2023... Why would you use either?
to be where the people are?
I love the idea of our little corner of the Internet, but it doesn't have the content or the users of the incumbents.
Conceptually I get what you're saying, but I've never used Twitter and I dropped Reddit in July cold turkey.
I have had no issues being where the people are just sticking to the Fediverse.
I don't feel like I've missed anything. I did pick up Mastodon, but that's just lurking. I picked up a few news apps to fill in a blank or two, but those usually end up on Lemmy anyway.
Also because it's convenient.
Easy. Twitter is where my metal homies are. Reddit for baseball. I don't care about the political angle of each. That's not why I'm there.
