This is the way. We can all do our part to build and evangelize the fediverse.
And don’t say things like it’s too complicated or nobody will listen to us. That’s objectively not true.
There are 20 million fediverse users. Stay positive and keep moving forward!
We also have to stop thinking that everything has to grow fast, and lose hope just because it’s not. Change take a really long time. Sometimes decades. Silicon Valley are obsessed with fast growth because it’s all driven by the promise of easy money. No need to adopt their mindset. Look how fast their products turn to shit.
Absolutely agree. Saying we don’t have the user base or growth of commercial sites is a straw man argument. That’s not the goal. Building solid communities of real people is.
