So I wrote a blog post on how I feel we can encourage more people to fedi, and it starts with DON’T TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE FEDIVERSE, because I’m very clever, or something. Would be happy to get your thoughts on that!

    Hi!

    because it’s how you show people “you don’t need to subject yourself to the whims of a Nazi billionaire or the greedy pigboy aping him”.

    I still think it’s better done on the case-by-case, and instance basis, as mentioned, Don’t talk about fediverse was realy meant as a provocation (and it’s working :P), I just think we would do better shifting the topic of conversation from technicals and infrastructure and apis to communities and content, because to be honest I believe it is already here.

    I think it’s important to be aware of a few options, and be able to answer questions about apps, but I fully agree we shouldn’t advertise the Fediverse based on apps. Specially since you can always check the content without one, even from a phone.

    💯 Absolutely. Apps are amazing, but people don’t want the app because it is shiny, but because of what it can give them. Community, topics, ‘content’.

    people eventually migrate from the general purpose instances to more specific ones, as they find their own homes here.

    I believe it is already happening, honestly, and I love it!
