I just want to express my feelings about the internet here. I don’t know why I want this that much. maybe convenience and not logging into youtube, twitter, instagram etc. but just mastodon. yes, just mastodon. there’s no particular motive I want to do things as I can to make this happen. I don’t know if something as simple as telling them to just come here will work. It’s good that wordpress now has AP support. that means I could just ask them to turn on a feature at the platform they already have. I don’t actually know someone interesting to follow though, but It’s a start. When will this happen, when I discovered the fediverse I had an excitement of the future of the internet will be amazing. with AP platforms being the dominant and most diverse ones; Peertube, Plume, Wordpress, Writefreely, and even Funkwhale. I was sure now that if I was on fediverse, I won’t be using corporate stuff and is a million times more better and ever more expanding. I realized no one I knew from the normal social media was here. So when will they come? When will Youtubers go to peertube? when will Twitter users use mastodon? when will bloggers use AP? When?

I’m just so excited. and so uncertain and I can’t wait for much.

    I think the current model of it is good in a way, because there is no clickbait shit unlike on YouTube. (Or less)

      current model is not strong enough to aid migration. none of the fediverse has an advantage, currently. mastodon is arguably the biggest, and they too have seen a drop in users since the hype a while back (when famous people also moved to the platform). the problem is to sustain migration and maintain growth. hype is not going to do that. hype is temporary. if there are no incentives, then the platform will die or be repurposed by a different clientel for reasons other than being a competitor to the corporate alternatives.
