No one (within the margin of error) has gone to "federated alternatives". No one cares about "federated" or "decentralised" or any of this nonesense.

I was skeptical too.
Lemmy has grown exponentially in the last few months and I've found it to be an adequate replacement after learning the basics.
I was skeptical about reddit in 2008 and hesitated to leave digg.

The only real pain with Lemmy right now is that it doesn't have all the niche sub Reddits due to lower population. Hopefully that'll change, because that's Reddit's real draw for me, not just shitposting and memes, which Lemmy is now doing a decent job with.
Your broad statement is ridiculous. I am not friends with 3 billions of people, but many people I care about are on the fediverse; everyone (within the margin of error) is on the fediverse. No one (within the margin of error) cares about a tech forum hosted by a VC (from https://whaly.io/posts/hacker-news-2021-retrospective). And yet here we are.
Please don't use only your tech and stats goggles to analyze the situation, understand that we are talking about people with a vast range of experiences and wants and needs.
