I think we just wait, if it's meant to be it'll happen organically
Besides, do we really want to bring the entire internet in here? Not sure what reason we have for it and at the moment it's full of like minded nerds, which is just how I like it personally
That said it could probably do with a wider spectrum of political beliefs, it does feel like a bit of an echo chamber sometimes
I know Iβd at least like all my contacts using the fediverse as I hate having to switch apps to see what people are up to.
Via mastodon? Afaik there's no activitypub messaging system right?
Currently no, but protocols and things are being worked on including one by the PixelFed creator called Sup!. Maybe one day we will have a good messaging system between the fediverse.
The easiest thing to use what isnβt decentralised but is secure would be Signal for the moment. Especially as they rolled out usernames instead of using your phone number
Oh yeah I've been on signal for ages now. Relatively easy to get people on that though because the UI is so familiar
Easier to get fediverse users on there over everyone else from what Iβve found. People can be stubborn
I've had basically no resistance with signal. The selling point being WhatsApp but without Facebook spying tends to work fairly well
Nobody wants to be spied on, the only issue is most people also can't be bothered to learn a new app
When they killed Reddit Sync, I was done. As for X or whatever they call it now, hopefully people will see what it's become, and soon leave?
One can dream haha.
It's a similar dream I have. People need to jump ship and go towards the Alternatives.
Agreed. Although this is enough "social media" for me.
Edit:
Twitter/Reddit banning all NSFW
Twitter/Reddit banning piracy discussion
I know people that use Reddit & Twitter purely for their NSFW content, So I don't think taking away Fediverse NSFW content would work for those types of people.
