How very diplomatic of him. Surely that’s going to help further US’ foreign relations.
Then again, president musk and first wasband trump would rather work with actual tyrants like putin, idiots like farage and the AfD, and probably with wannabe prime minister geert wilders.
An average post on Mastodon/X/Bluesky/Threads is “this is what I encounter” or “this is what I believe”. Those kinds of posts don’t specifically ask for a response. You can respond to it, but it doesn’t require one.
That’s not how you communicate on Lemmy or Reddit.
That’s the difference.
Each platform has its own usages.
So to compare and say “well platform Y is more social, because there’s more interaction than on platform 2” is a bit weird.
You wouldn’t compare a letter with a message board on a town plaza either. Both can be used to communicate, but they’re not comparable to each other.
Or in another way:
On Mastodon or Nostr, when you post something only a small subsection of the userbase actually sees it (only those who follow you, those that follow any of the hashtags that you used, or those that check the full firehose).
On Lemmy the entire community you posted it to can see your post.
Obviously you can get more response on Lemmy! More people get to see it.
Why are you comparing apples to glass bowls?
Lemmy is a reddit clone, where you create communities.
Mastodon is a Twitter clone, where you share what you ate last night or what political meme you like today while sharing photos of moss and/or windows.
Nostr is its own thing.
You can’t really compare them with each other.
I was in the market for a new car. And Tesla was not even on my long list of cars to consider, precisely because of Herr Sturmbahnführer Musk.
Early 20th century we had the influenza pandemic where a certain part of the population refused to wash hands and wear masks. It also saw the rise of Nazis.

History sure loves to repeat itself.
Add some redundancy to it.
