Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

What the title says. I think there is still a long way for that to happen but i've been hopeful. What do you think?

The average user does not care enough about the reasons that drive people off the mainstream social media - in short, they're idiots. So, no, these won't replace the shitty mainstream solutions, because most people just have no clue that they really should.

lmao just because you use alternative version doesnt makes you suddenly become smarter than them, the mentality of "Im using this product, Im superior than you" remind me of those apple sheep mentality

That's basically reddit mentality when it was "cool"

I get that, but the reasons for moving towards fediverse away from mainstream social media, which everyone here should now be well-versed in, are so obvious that you'd have to be an idiot at this point to stay on reddit and use the official app.

Like, you'd have to be an absolute idiot at this point.

Sometimes I hate being this cynical--but I'm afraid I agree 100%.
