I create things.
@astrionic I did actually make this point in point number 2. The Brands & people they like to interact with haven’t jumped ship either.
This is where Threads is a good example of why it needs to federalize as it actually does have a lot of Brands & people on there and if it did, it would be able to interact with Mastodon as well as the rest of the Fediverse. As well as in my point number 1. They want to go where the majority of people are.
Some people are like sheep and go with the flock, if a big company or influencer moved over to Mastodon or any part of the Fediverse they might actually move across themselves, even if they crosspost it’s a good start allowing people to move away from TwitterX if they wish to. But yes the Fediverse has fewer people & brands of the moment but in due time people will mostly get fed-up with being toyed around by these centralized platforms.
@JelloBrains Yes you are right, mastodon doesn’t have the ‘normal’ feed they are used to. I like the explanation that it’s like a Garden, you have to pick the weeds but the things you grow are much sweeter in the end.
@realcaseyrollins I feel as if people are only sticking with the platform because of a few reasons.
There’s probably more other reasons and would love to know your thoughts about what I feel is some of the reasons people don’t want to leave X or Twitter, What ever you want to call it.
@threadworms Thank you, Yeah I feel as if the Fediverse was what the original idea of the internet was meant to be and I really do hope we move further in this direction. I see some people mention that they don’t really want it to grow as they feel it will be wreaked by the general public, what I see there concern but things move no matter what and we just have to be kind and welcoming to newer people and hope to keep the Fediverse a great place for people to be instead of the Toxic pit of current Social Media. Thank you for your feedback
@krzschlss I get what you mean, sure Echo Chambers seem like a nice place but it’s always good to have a different opinion, it’s one of the reasons I really support the Fediverse because you can’t choose a certain platform to get Echo Chambered in like you can currently choose Twitter if you hate Trans / Left people, You can choose Reddit if you hate Tech / Everyone else and want to keyboard warrior all day and Facebook / Meta if you want to talk to your Family or post revealing photos to get clicks, people use the current social media as personalities effecting there mental health. I really do hope people just be themselves instead of putting on a face.
@Gutotito I’m pretty sure this part is already happening, META built Threads and Tumblr has already displayed interest in connecting with the Fediverse, it seems like big tech is interested in it. TBH that’s why the confo came up with my friend in the first place.
@OutrageousUmpire They are already going for Trans People and the Fediverse is currently more Left leaning making the right who are in power most likely hate it so I can see where they would want to try and get rid of it at the moment.
@GlennMagusHarvey Thank you, you’ve went through pretty much everything I could think of, I know I did argue the Open-Source aspect to them before but they do mention that they feel open source is less secure what does show you how much they know. Thank you i’ll try some of these points with them.
@NightOwl Not really sure, TBH a lot of platforms the US hates hasn’t been taken down so I don’t see a problem with it especially knowing it’s a decentralised one.
@hoodlem As of the moment, other than what Threads has shown yes not to many companies have moved way into the #Fediverse but a lot of News Organizations have seemed to have moved to at least Mastodon with Products, Companies and Even Celebrities moving to Threads. It’s why me and many other people think the Fediverse might just explode in popularity (what could be good or bad, we are yet to see how something with so many people could work). Once Mark Zuckerberg opens those flood gates I don’t think the Fediverse will be the same, for better or worse.
@SJ0 I think that’s really the full idea of the Fediverse, You can do the same with Content Creators if they wish to control 100% of there channel they can host a peertube instance and release to the world from there. Sure we might need to work out how to run a server but i’m sure it will just get easier over time especially if there modern internet requires it a bit more than it used to.
@SJ0 That’s not a bad way of putting it, but I don’t count myself as a tech-savvy person I just picked up how the fediverse worked over the past few weeks and I find it less complex than what things like META do for there systems.
