"We can do federated and open social media if we want to. We can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't do federated and open social media. And if they don't do federated and open social media. Well they're no friends of mine."
I have been thinking about how the Fediverse doesn't lack amazing and smart and funny people, and for most people what it lacks is their friends.
Their friends are on some corporate billionaire owned social media, and they won't leave because their friends are there... it's a vicious cycle/circle. But it can be broken.
@rasterweb @vmstan This is one of the downsides to the Fediverse. I hope it changes sometime.
