People are leaving Muskrats fascist supporting platform. So what if they aren't going to Mastedon, they're leaving Twitter. Isn't that enough for us?
I don't need Mastedon to win. I just want Twitter to lose. Once Twitter has been (hopefully) de-platformed we can talk about Mastedon and the Fediverse and the idea of a non-corpo platform.
But it terms of main stream casual appeal, Mastedon still doesn't have it yet, and that's okay.
Mastedon needs to get more casual with the introduction to the Fediverse because for everyday non-tech people, it can be a little confusing.
People see Bluesky as the Twitter replacement because of its simplicity.
Well said. Maybe there's more to do in the hardware, software and general computing training such that the layman could safely deploy their own Website like we used to be able to do. Then everyone could have their own servers at home like some of us do. True decentralized communication.
Lemmy would be great for dare I say it...church congregations for example. Schools, mechanic forums, unofficial student associations like alpha Kapa whatever. ETC. it's a momentous opportunity.
