    Step 3. No need to start using it until you have a decent amount of people on the other platform to converse with and share dinner photos.

    “No one is on this platform, so no need to post…”

    “No one posts in this platform, why should I join?”

      That’s why (if addicted to SM) you only need sign up for free (hardly a task) - and then just share with friends that you have. Check back in a few weeks and see if others have signed up. When enough have, then start using it, until it is good enough to dump the other.

      I don’t use SM apart from this and a few dedicated forums, but I don’t get why anyone would be on any of them to begin with, regardless if my friends are on it or not.

        Oooooh, then you can not post to a bunch of zombie accounts that no one uses cuz the platform is empty cuz no one uses it.

        Anyway, you were so close to actually getting the point that you need to just

        start using it, until it is good enough to dump the other.

        Be the change, ya know?

          The alternative is doing nothing and stay on the creepy data hoarding platforms. Again - for the zombies that need their fix, not for those that don’t use any of them.

            Yes, the alternative to making an account and posting shit to make a new platform more appealing to potential new users is staying and doing nothing 🙄

            I’m done with this conversation, since this is not going to be a productive use of time. Good day.

              And talk shit somewhere else. A point was made, didn’t need your input, especially without any other point or alternative… Just “Do nothing” mulch.
