As a media researcher, I find it amazing how new digital platforms have been shaped by a crisis of credibility. Birdsite really exploded after the Radia Tapes and its subsequent blackout by mainstream media. A crisis in the credibility of Twitter foced us to switch to Mastodon. This is important in itself because a lot of people thought that Twitter and Facebook have become the final pillers of social media and are no longer replaceable.
shirish@gsquare It really all depends on needs, wants etc. For e.g. I have a passion for aviation, renewable energy etc. but I found even twitter/birdsite didn't have much info. or people about it. Or at least I didn't find many even though I tried. The idea of topics there is intriguing but with damage being dealt to people, who would want to engage ?
