  • I see two reasons why it’s ultimately not possible to recreate conventional social media success via Fediverse.

    1. Some services are taylored to the needs of already-famous people who will tend towards bigger platforms to maximize reach and drag followers along (e.g. what Twitter used to be)
    2. You can’t make a buck by cranking out content here. The possibility to make a living off your posting draws the most prolific posters to becoming professional creators for big platforms. You can’t really do that on Fedi unless you already have a dedicated donor base.

    That said, I don’t think making more fedi things is pointless. But they are probably going to be smaller things, niche or local, particular to the interests of a couple fellas, points of human connection.
