  • @astrionic I did actually make this point in point number 2. The Brands & people they like to interact with haven’t jumped ship either.

    This is where Threads is a good example of why it needs to federalize as it actually does have a lot of Brands & people on there and if it did, it would be able to interact with Mastodon as well as the rest of the Fediverse. As well as in my point number 1. They want to go where the majority of people are.

    Some people are like sheep and go with the flock, if a big company or influencer moved over to Mastodon or any part of the Fediverse they might actually move across themselves, even if they crosspost it’s a good start allowing people to move away from TwitterX if they wish to. But yes the Fediverse has fewer people & brands of the moment but in due time people will mostly get fed-up with being toyed around by these centralized platforms.



  • @realcaseyrollins I feel as if people are only sticking with the platform because of a few reasons.

    1. They want to go where the majority of people are
    2. The Brands & people they like to interact with haven’t jumped ship either
    3. They are unaware of alternatives such as Kbin or Mastodon (as well as any other that I can’t think of atm)
    4. They are Elon fans and hate to think otherwise.
    5. They are super right wing and don’t want to join a ‘Woke’ platform
    6. They don’t think a Decentralised system would work

    There’s probably more other reasons and would love to know your thoughts about what I feel is some of the reasons people don’t want to leave X or Twitter, What ever you want to call it.



  • @sab It’s also about Quality, currently a lot of PeerTube Instances make you have a limit on how much space you have, if you self-host you can raise that limit to the amount of space you have. Most people who don’t create quality content might not last and possibly would just shut down their servers removing their content from the Fediverse.

    But those who get donations and any other form of revenue would be able to keep going and even expand their storage if they need to allow their content to be a bigger part of the Fediverse.

    Let’s take PewDiePie for instance, if he moved all his videos over to the Fediverse it would be only PewDiePie’s videos across the whole Fediverse but because of his money behind him, he can host them. Merch, Donations, and any other sponsorship could keep him running the server for another month, especially if someone already has or builds up a community of people that are willing to spend money on them.







  • @euphoria Yeah I try to find already made mags such as gaming ones but it seems like a lot of single-game topic ones such as for GTA seem to be pretty dead or the OC of the Mag seems to not be active on Kbin anymore making it feel like it might end up just being another unmoderated dead-end in the Fediverse.

    It’s good that we have room to grow especially as it seems it would be good for gaming alone but it doesn’t show we are a good system to move to if Reddit and even smaller platforms seem to have better engagement on the Forums than something that is interconnected between Instances.
