Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.

@lucien also, you have to bear in mind that when we reply to public comments, it isn't just for the benefit of the one person who commented, but for anyone else who may be lurking in the comments sections.
And: usually you have to hear about a new product a number of times before you try it out. So, many baby steps, one big goal. -
@MissWarcraft I would say there are many reasons.
I also think that Mastodon just doesn't have a large marketing budget, that would be useful to get people on board.
That, and I think the initial step of choosing a server can be offputting@hpod16 Being locked into a Server is why I do not post often, I don't see what people in Europe really think. But on X I do. It is a true hodge podge of posts from around the globe. I try to stick to Warcraft, animal and science stuff. Very little of that here. On Mastodon they just post Hate Trump Hate America. Why would I want to see that all day.

@MissWarcraft
I see what you mean. I think. Actually, wait, what do you mean you are locked into a server? If I follow you, I see your posts, regardless of what server I am on, no?
PS: For the Horde! 🤘 😈 -
@hpod16 @realcaseyrollins and to your point, that's probably a good reason for not having fully fledged 'DMs'.
I also don't like people popping in my inbox uninvited...

@realcaseyrollins @lucien oh dang, there goes my excuse to ignore DMs! But thanks for telling me!

@hpod16 the problem is that the same people that don't know will run into lots of UX issues when trying Fediverse. I know a few sadly...

That, and I think the initial step of choosing a server can be offputting@hpod16 A cheap way to market the platform would be for EU politicians to start migrating here en masse. That would be headline news in and of itself, and journalists would have to follow them here, which would inevitably be a huge publicity generator for Mastodon.

@hpod16 the world was not built in a day 😁 and there's certainly more interest from EU users these days, which is great!
@lucien @hpod16 Facebook users might also be more comfortable with Friendica rather than Mastodon.
Maybe collaborate with Friendica developers to get a good beginner's guide for Facebook users going?
When working on such a guide, it's always good to have the view of somebody completely new to the software like yourself.

PS: For the Horde! 🤘 😈@hpod16 @MissWarcraft not sure I get it either; don’t know about Warcraft but I’m getting lots of animals and science from the people I follow here. Maybe you have your feed set to “Local”? Then you only see whatever people on your instance post. I personally never use that.

PS: For the Horde! 🤘 😈@hpod16 @MissWarcraft Have you tried using filters to get most of the US politics off your timeline? https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/
Also, hashtags are your friends, follow lots of those.

I know, I know...
When I first started (a week ago), I struggled with understanding the federated nature.
But I just put out a post to ask questions, and people explained things to me, and I was amazed with the awesome community out here!@hpod16 @lucien One example I like to repeat a lot: imagine that when a channel you follow on YouTube publishes a video, you saw that publication on Twitter. And you could leave comments and give likes directly to that YouTube video from that same Twitter publication… you can do that on the Fediverse with Mastodon and PeerTube. That’s the nature of federated content using a single protocol, but sharing different content on different instances of different services.

@MissWarcraft @hpod16 You have to put some effort into customizing your timeline (follow #'s, find people you like to follow...). This takes some time, while x gives you all imaginable content from the start, but I prefer tweaking my timeline myself. I think its special, that the timeline is in real time here, so if you want to see more European content, you have to follow European user's and hashtags first, but you also have to consider day and night times in Europe.

@hpod16 The state of things. X has 650 Million Active users and Mastodon has 2.5 million. There is a reason. #Musk #Mastodon #SocialMedia
@MissWarcraft Where is this data from?
https://fedidb.com shows a bit over 1 million active accounts across all of the fediverse.

@MissWarcraft Ah, okay, it's referencing old data from https://mastodon-analytics.com/.
Thank you!

This sentence from Aric McBay's "Full Spectrum Resistance" speaks to me:
"Cultures of resistance must think critically and strategically about how to build effective and vibrant movements."
Some action may be motivated by emotion, but a sustained and effective movement needs to be actively planned. Not STUCK in planning mode, obviously, but also not just what people "feel like" in the moment.
Have a goal, make a strategic plan, carry it out. Repeat.

one thing I wantto do here as soon as I can, is to properly add people on lists! I LOVE lists! The first one I made is for comics authors and artists! See you soon! Hugs for all!

@dereisenhofer @totenlegionChris I'm not afraid to admit I'm old enough to have worked on actual Alesis ADAT recorders back in the day. Wordclock was (often) voodoo back then as well. 😅

I apologize for eveybody here.I do want to take more time to interact and know the people, answer, stay in contact, but I am super busy with my #wordpress and would love to have some #fedihelp from a #webdev if someone is interested in exchanging services (I'm broke! many financial issues with my child and family!). I will be back as soon as possible!
Here an artwork just tocontribute in this amazing community! Hugs from Brazil!
