Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.
information sources:
LinkedIn has over a billion users. I got a t-shirt for it.
I’m surprised it’s considered social media. I only go there looking for work. Sure there are some posts that are social. But seems mostly geared to getting jobs and networking from a business perspective.
I’d argue that Twitch and Youtube are less a social media than LinkedIn. Twitch/Youtube is video streaming with interactive chat. That’s it.
That’s just my definition though. Yours may vary.
I see your point. The difference for me is the substance of the content. If the site was geared towards just something it’s just a website. But it having content about anything makes it kind of social to me. I hear you though. I see where many of these don’t fit into social media.
