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.

    For the fediverse to bring creators over, there needs to be a monetary incentive for them. The fediverse being in opposition of both ads and profits

    That can actually be a strong selling point, doing some modifications to peertube so it could deliver ads and creators could keep a bigger share of it (which is OK, there is nothing wrong with making money, especially for small and independent creators).

      if i created content, my main concern would be to maximize profits without costs. i think, a delivery system allowing a content creator to push their content on multiple platforms effortlessly (as long as said platforms make money) could be an ideal way to create growth. that would solve creation. but, creating content without getting momentum is wasted effort, there also needs to be incentives for consumers of said content to use the platform.
