Some small rural towns stay connected through Facebook groups.
If you want to reach people in that small town, for social or commercial reasons — you post to that towns' Facebook groups.

What could the Fediverse and Social Web learn from this?
To me it seem as if — Rumble is much more popular as a YouTube alternative than PeerTube.
Why might that be?
...
I have my own suspicions of why.
But — what do you think?
Apparently A LOT of YouTube channels got deleted recently.
“I’m the creator of the MrTie channel. It had 930,000 subscribers, and then it was banned [by YouTube]”

“Apparently, YouTube terminated my entire channel last night as I slept. Just completely wiped out the entire account I've had for years. All my subscriptions, podcasts, livetreams... everything is gone. No notice was given.”

“YouTube nuked my account last night. I have appealed this absurd action. But I'll have to make some changes to protect myself from this kind of thing in the future.”

“YouTube deleted my animation channel Bloomation. My channel had 760,000 subscribers. It was removed for “spam, fraud, and deception policies”. But here’s the problem: I never violated these rules.”

What would it take to get photo journalists and video journalists on the Fediverse?
They can keep using Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, etc, too.
But, what would it take to ALSO get them here?

I have been trying to think of ways of making the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming.
To people outside the Fediverse.
To people thinking of joining the Fediverse.
To people who recently joined the Fediverse.
And more.
...
What do YOU think could make the Fediverse more Friendly and Welcoming?
