I got it as a replacement to facebook and an alternative for when twitter is just too much for one reason or another. Be it drama on the timeline or something in the news. So i think as long as i have friends on here i'll stick around. Its a great alternative. I don't need much in a basic, alternative social media platform. Like i said i have twitter. Its just too much lately with everything going on. I like this cause its literally just me and my friends. I will say i don't think it can compete with twitter, but definitely facebook cause lots of people are tired of facebook.

The nostalgia is getting me. I like it, I'm eager to see more when all of the features are available. So sick of fb.

I hope so we need a social media site that is NOT political. A site to make friends and to have fun

I guess it depends on what "succeed" means in this context.

Will it amass users like Facebook or Instagram or Tiktok? Personally, I hope not. I think a lot of us are here because we wanted to get away from what social media has become.

But could it find a niche base of regular users, kind of like Dreamwidth? I think it's entirely possible.

I think this has the ability to be successful with a few changes here n there. I’m hoping to see some options like going live, messenger, and some customization to our profile.Β

It will succeed as a niche product. Forget trying to compete with the Big Tech monsters. We came here to escape them. But we NEED private messaging. Can't have a functioning service without it.

I'd say 50/50.
There's potential but it's still too early to say.
I hope it does.
But as stated there are missing feature that are yet to come out so its the old saying.
"Only time can tell".
I'm still gonna annoy my friends to join lol

Will it be as big as Facebook? Probably not. But it could get big if we got a good bit of the people in our friend circles back in the day to use it. I know a ton of people who miss Myspace. Facebook has lost most millenials, and gen Z could care less about Facebook. They're more into Instagram and Tik Tok. This could be sustainable for people who grew up with Myspace. If you can get bands and artist interested in making music profiles, it will make this site even more alive. You don't need big names either. So many bands got their start on Myspace. I never searched Myspace for bands I've already heard of, unless I was looking to add an song to my profile. I do miss finding music and videos on Myspace. We need a place to chill more than ever, and all modern social media has done is steal info, gaslight people over social issues, and bombard you will product ads. I think the Myspace generation is ready to give the Facebook keys to the boomers, and let them ride that hellhole off a cliff lol

I think you are all correct. They have every opportunity to carve this out. Probably not over-taking anything but there is a place for minor social sites out here.Β 


Other than Nostalgia, what becomes the niche here?Β

In order to succeed they'll have to do a lot. I'm not sure if their goal is to become the next platform but they very easily could if they go about it right. They'd have to do more than rely on a nostalgic look. I have a lot of suggestions but I'm not a coder so I'm not sure if they'll be taken into a consideration but as a user, I gots ideas.

It could succeed but I would be worried about any legal disputes.

Yeah. It's been getting a lot of positive attention. I think people are also so sick of facebook and other social media. If anything this has brought some serious competition to the market.Β

It has grown. Part of why I jumped on... just not sure if it's built to compete in 2021.


The lack of simple viral discovery is going to be rough for keeping folks on here IMO, especially if their personal network on the site is spotty.Β 

But... I really can't decide how to read this. Lol
