@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 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.

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 @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.

@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 @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!

@darkoneko the social media manager in question may have read over that part….

@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...

@MissWarcraft @hpod16 if you want to see what I think, all you need to do is follow me. You are not locked into a server unless you chose to

Su (1) è difficile dire alcunché, poiché la nostra capacità di prevedere l'evoluzione della società su tempi secolari è praticamente nulla, ma la (2) apre prospettive interessanti, visto quanto potrebbe essere distruttivo per la diffusione della conoscenza un collasso energetivo, vista la massiccia, apparentemente inarrestabile, virtualizzazione degli archivi del sapere, che sta raggiungendo progressivamente anche angoli del mondo finora rimasti piú “analogici”.

Si prefigurano almeno due possibilità, su un tempo piú lungo: (1) la società continuerà ad evolvere senza soluzione di continuità, o (2) il soggetto immortale potrebbe assistere a quello che sarà un collasso totale, tra catastrofi climatiche, prospettive belliche e [trappole malthusiane](https://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/nuclear-will-not-save-us-2/#nostabilization) (ci sono modelli che prevedono addirittura questi collassi nei prossimi decenni, non in prospettive a lungo termine).

Tools of the trade
Ask any SysOp what kind of tools they prefer and you get very different answers. And that is a beauty, because any SysOp whom has been in "the field" have build up their preferred toolchain
In the last decade (or so), I've grown quite fond of Ansible, for system automation and orchestration. It is not perfect - far from it. But it allows me to manage fleets of machines and keep everything running well
I was asked to partake in a project. Big (sub)client, quite a high pay. It required being comfortable with Terraform. No previous experience, just being comfortable with it.
I told them I was willing to give it a go and learn it on the fly. But heck, I ended up throwing in the towel after one week - due to it seriously draining my energy (and with that, my mental health).
High pay is nice. But your mental health should never, ever be for sale. No amount of money should weigh up to selling your soul.
