#followerpower ... and sort of a try to start a hopefully not-too-meta discussion: What are the hive minds thoughts on making the #Fediverse more attractive to particular groups of interest? Point right now: With the rise(?) of Bluesky and the demise of Twitter, I see quite a bunch of bubbles I used to participate in make their way over there, either directly from X or by having a "temporary deviation" across mostly Mastodon. Few of them stayed. Already by now, with this being a closed invite-only platform, there are some feeds (art, photography, writings, lyrics, architecture) over there that are more populated with posts and thoughts dealing with said topics than I manage to find on Friendica or Mastodon, and now I'm a bit unsure. Somehow, there was hope the #Fediverse could be the "more human" network for actual humans, but it seems that for (quite?) some folks, it doesn't scratch the actual itches they have, or it doesn't work out in this way or the other. So, wondering: Does it need more "awareness" for what particular crowds need to feel home here? Do "we" need to be more open in understanding why and what for people are using "social media" or "social networks"? Or will it be just okay to accept people having accounts on a plethora of different systems for different purposes? (Personally, I really enjoyed the idea of having a lot of my former Twitter/X crowd around here, and seeing them vanish from my timelines again, being in need to interact with another network again feels like a step back but not sure - maybe that's only me?)
Thoughts appreciated. #followerpower
