Civilians

It will take a couple years in my experience. I stopped using WhatsApp except for business related transactions and told everyone I use Telegram. People at first didn’t get the app but eventually of they wanted to contact me would install it. And then they started using it with their friends because it’s a better app. Lemmy nice communities will take time but the model is so much more sustainable.

It’s here unfortunately, but unlike reddit, opposing opinions aren’t modded out.

I don’t think there’s any advertising budget being spent on these fedi platforms, which makes it impressive they’ve grown so much from media exposure and word of mouth.

No it’s not, I read down the thread further and found lemmy.ca devs saying it’s hosted in Quebec on OVH. Something about CloudFlare redirect.

Hosted on a dutch server.
