    Why would anyone voluntarily use it anyway?

      It’s been out for less than ten days and it already has more than 35x the number of total users as Mastodon. It might not be for us, but saying that no one would want to use it is just sour grapes.

        It’s the volume of person data it scoops up. I don’t understand why anyone would happily share that much information just to use a social media app.
