We have a lot of options for all social media and other apps, but it is hard to catch people’s attention. How can we make more people use these platforms rather than a platform that p.dophiles run

I’m on Lemmy due to principles but I am the kind of guy who will reject every single “legitimate interest” cookie consent, even if I have to click 300 times to do that… And even I went back to Reddit after my first encounter with Lemmy. The lack of content is a huge issue.
Decentralisation is an issue as well. Yes, it is here to solve problems, but it solves problems that big platforms face, but it creates a bunch of small problems that kill small platforms.
Most people don’t want to be forced to choose which one of the hundred providers they want to use, when they never heard about any of them, they have no idea what’s the difference and don’t care enough to learn… Shit, even I never cared to check what is the difference between Lemmy instances. And then you might have one community split between 10 instances… Each with one or two posts… And all long dead. Maybe one community with 10 times the user base could survive?
