I don’t get why a group of users that are willing to run their own LLMs locally and do not want to relay on centralized corporations like openAI or google prefer to discuss using a centralized site like Reddit

    @acec I think it’s a mix of reasons why really;

    1. They’ve been using it for years
    2. A lot of there favourite subs are on there and they are admins of those subs giving them power
    3. A good amount of them don’t know about the Fediverse and that they could run a similar sub on the Fediverse
    4. Change, a good amount of Redditors are most likely Autistic and don’t want things to change.

      Niche subs on Reddit are more active, making them more useful in a simple Catch 22.

      Basically the way all shitty social media retains market share, the users go where the users are.

      Resistance to change is not an autistic thing in this context; people just don’t want to fiddle with things that work.
