  • Only one who wrote about it was the one who went self-hosted, the rest didn’t talk about it. I would guess it ended up being the final straw, like “why direct people to X to back me instead of just promoting myself where they see me.” Especially if, as you say, the cut was so similar.








  • What “kickstart”? The fediverse isn’t a commercial venture. If we can connect with our friends and interests, it’s already “working”. I find fantastic new people here all the time, doing really niche stuff I’d never find on a platform focused on appealing to everyone.

    If “99%” of people aren’t on it, that’s perfectly acceptable, and just makes it easier for the ones on it to find and talk to their friends. I don’t think we need or want the vast torrent of spammers, downvote bots, and “influencer” types who use whatever gives them clicks.
