    From what I can gather the Government is waiting for the community / public to move across, the public has to wait for the sources of Information so news, reporters and creators and those are waiting for both there community and the government / people they have to interact with to keep going.

    It’s kinda a big circle that everyone is waiting for the next person to move across.

      And this is sort of the annoying part for me, if you want something that respects your privacy better than mainstream social media, you have to put up with way less people, posts, comments and communities. I really wish there was some major platform which was as big as the mainstream but was it’s own thing, I know mastodon is the biggest but it’s still not big enough meanwhile something like bluesky which came way after is even more popular than it

        @Jasperthewolf@pawb.social It is what’s upsetting about it at the moment, It’s also what ActivityPub and The Fediverse is here to solve into the Future, the main issue is we need platforms to adopt it and grow alongside each other. It’s one of the things I’ve been trying to do with creating banners and little digital adverts for the Fediverse.

        Soon I hope to push into other sections that could help push people to move across, in the end people can’t move unless they learn about it, The only way to learn about is to be educated by the people using it.

          Yeah exactly, but the issue is how do we spread the word about it and get a lot more people on it? We’d need to have big celebrities get on it, the same strategies that MySpace, Twitter, and Discord used to grow their popularity when they first were growing. Also, where we would put these adverts? Most people use the same sort of social media nowadays, so it’s kinda redundant telling them on there, it’s like someone saying to move to twitter while posting on mastodon.

            Yeah I get that, when it comes to Celebs I’m not sure how to solve that but I know I’m planning on making posters to plaster up and advertise the Fediverse as a whole. I’m also looking to sell these sorts of posters to people using the Fediverse so we can get more advertisement out there.

            When it comes to digital advertisement it’s a bit of posting on normal social media but also educating people through Videos, Comments and more. It’s trying to show we are a great place for people to go and it’s not as complex as people think.
