    I’ll be downvoted to hell for saying this. But in this event I think it’s better for you to upgrade to Win 11 or maybe even move to MacOS (mac mini is pretty cheap), though I don’t know if you’ll find your replacement apps.

    I use Win for work (no choice there) and Ubuntu at home (just browse the net, and only browser applications).

    Exactly, Twitter still has over 200 million DAU. Thread has about 30 million, Bluesky has less. Mastodon is worse.

    Things like my city’s metro communication is still on Twitter. People aren’t going leave anytime soon.

    You clearly haven't talked to Asians about how strict their parents can be. I've heard of guys getting their asses whopped for slacking off in studies. The same applies to some black parents too.

    Address some of the issues. Like not having multiple similar posts, on different instances with similar named communities.

    Also to reach critical mass, we need to keep posting. Addition of new apps such as Boost will also increase popularity

    I think that might help, asking for volunteers. Segregating them based on their abilities (LinkedIn profile for instance). There are a lot of people who have a couple of hours a week they can spend for such a cause. Please check with your colleagues and see if asking for volunteers is possible.

    Donating money is also an option, but in this economy, it's not sustainable to donate significant sums on a recurring basis for most.

    Unpopular opinion: Win 11 works well for me, and is visually better than Win 10. Although it's a fairly recent PC. Although if they keep pushing more telemetry and ads, I'm moving over to Ubuntu.

    Which is why shared cars as opposed to everyone or every household owning one makes sense. You'll be more thoughtful of when you need it rather than using it because it's always there.

    Other than gamers, there's a huge share of enterprise Windows users. And they're not likely to shift OS, because of IT admin issues. Others in this thread have commented on how Apple is struggling to get devs to build native games compared to Windows.

    Sure the number of home PC users might decline, one can always hope.
