How's it going for centralized reddit-like platforms like Tildes, Discuit, Squabblr? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As someone else mentioned here, these other centralized platforms often advertise heavily on subreddits like /r/RedditAlternatives, and they do seem to have some people on there. Does anyone know if they are attracting a lot of people or why people prefer to join other centralized sites before joining e.g. Lemmy? Are they a "threat" to the growth of fediverse platforms like Lemmy, Mbin or just experiments that'll fail sooner or later?

We should go advertise the fediverse on them, they're holding us back as a society

Thats like going to bluesky to evangelise mastodon. It won't work imo.

I learned about lemmy on reddit?

I know, but reddit has far more users than these tiny sites, who may already be devoted to them.

We could, but I think effort would be better spent on Reddit, which has the largest userbase to draw from.
