The Fediverse needs a popular agent
The Fediverse needs a popular agent
Right now, we are frequently posting contents and interacting with the communities in order to make Fediverse more alive and more "social" as social media. But really, compared to Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, we probably don't even exist.
We need that one person, who will be actively using, or at least interested in Fediverse and is popular enough to put Fediverse onto the mainstream.
If there is that one person, who would be the best for that?
Naaah. Keep the "influencers" over there.
Why do we need to be mainstream?
Why...why would you want that?
What are you waffling about
How would this benefit the Fediverse?
I'm not opposed to this idea, I'm just not sure what it would accomplish. Even Mark Zuckerberg understood that you would need a host of celebrities to get people on board with Threads. Nostr has Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden but you don't see tons of people flocking to that platform.
I think that people need to get this idea of "winning" out of their head. We need to try and cultivate the userbase we want rather than focus on "beating" Threads/Reddit/Twitter/etc.
Don't focus of numbers, focus on good content.
Only celeb I miss from Twitter is dril.
Sure, let's talk about Rampart.
Well … we have got the hulk over on mastodon. 🤷♂️
Lemmy Kilmister.
We don't need celebrities. We just need to bring our friends over.
"Fear of missing out"
We are not the cool guys therefore we don't exist and the party happens without us elsewhere.
The thing is, the fediverse doesn't need to be mainstream.
Depends on what people want. For threadiverse who cares, this is topic based not people based.
For a lot of micro blogging this is for people that either want to be the one people follow or for people that want to follow those people. I am not one of those people. You do have a point though about those people. That is not the the threadiverse though... not related to lemmy or kbin.
Drivers vary though. For tube sites it is more about monetization. So that it yet another driver.
