I am only on here and Mastodon, is there a socialist argument to be on mainstream social media? (lemmygrad.ml)

I see many socialists on X and Instagram that are not on Mastodon, why is that? Is there a socialist argument as to why these organizations are still there, and should we join them?

For agitation and propaganda, mainstream websites are infinitely more effective than whatever we have on the fediverse. That is not on you as an individual but on your organisation as a platform for that agitation.

Now for individualist arguments, there's the clear reason that sadly most people are still only on corporate social media.

The fediverse works as a safe space, and allows for deeper discussion and studies, but it's definitely not a place for reaching an audience.
