So, I completely switched to FOSS federated social networks toward the middle of 2020. I love the Fediverse, but nobody I know IRL seems to care at all about it in any capacity, so I’m basically just screaming into a void full of other FOSSheads. How do I reconcile this? How do we get our IRL peeps on the Fediverse?
Well the best conversations on mastodon were when I connected with some individual people who were really passionate and well informed about something really obscure that they could talk about at length.
It seemed like it was a bit easier to discover those people and have those convos back in the earlier days of mastodon though.
I suppose, more than anything, I just want to say I think you’ve asked a good question and I hope there’s some good answers here.
