It’s the same as when people on here are surprised by the number of users still on Reddit.
Most users don’t care, and it’s important to remember Lemmy is a fringe community of people who disproportionately do care about the platforms they use compared to the general population.
Not saying that’s wrong, but this place is a bit of an echo chamber.
There are people like me who would be happy to move to a new platform but there isn’t a platform yet good enough to abandon the existing platform.
Eg. Lemmy and Reddit. Lemmy is good but it feels like the vast majority of people here are programmers and Linux users; until there is more variety of people here then I can’t see myself giving up Reddit.
I asked my friend this, since he makes fun of Twitter despite being on there. His response was “I need to be on there to sell my books. Plus there are funny memes.” When I mentioned Mastodon, he seemed vaguely interested but not enough to do anything about it.
85 % still in the dumpster fire?? How?

Monthly is a very generous statistic to use. A lot of people log in every few weeks out of curiosity. Daily active is down substantially.
