- raxxorrax 5y agoAside from worse legal protection of platforms, I think part of it just has to do with convenience and in this case language specifically. In the beginning it was about the right place and time for a social network to be successful. There were more at first, but due to their nature people concentrated on a few big ones. English has a low barrier for Europeans, it is significantly higher for Russians or Chinese. So many Europeans just used platforms of the Anglosphere. It made content even more interesting because there was more from different cultures. Of course I feel sorry for the Anglos that so many people can understand them now, but at least they have advantages for platforms like this.
- cblconfederate 5y agoI dont think so. the vast majority of people in my country and most european countries use facebook etc in their local language with their local friends. It's no different really with windows: They are also everywhere but russia doesnt have its own competitor.
