BlueSky has money. We don’t.

People are going from one corporate-controlled social media platform to another corporate-controlled social media platform. You and I both know that’s the problem, but to the average user, they’re going to go to whatever has a large corporation spending a lot of money to tell them that their platform is the next big thing.

BlueSky has the one thing Fedi doesn’t: a large advertising budget. Hate to say it, but we have lost.

You lost me at the first panel.

OP seems to imply they’re unfamiliar with the idea of playing games with other people at all, as if multiplayer games weren’t a thing before the internet.

Having a larger worldwide population to match with means matchmaking can do a better job of trying to find someone closer to your level. Playing any game with a high skill ceiling with IRL friends is what often just results in a skill gap too wide for either of us to have fun, and then who else can I even go play with?

And that’s assuming anyone you know IRL even wants to play the niche games you love best.
