Ed ZitronDiscoverability on here isn’t as good. I want my big numbers. They’re all that keep me alive....
dendy crew@Zitron good now everything can work by word of mouth instead of algorithms. we can go back to talking to each other instead of being guided by brand resonances.
@dendycrew just want some attention or to die.
@Zitron im giving attention to you now ed. lets talk about video games online and be indifferent about how many people can overhear the conversation

🇳🇿@Zitron that might be true - growth here is slow but honest. And, unlike BlueSky, the Fediverse is likely to have a 'long term' - https://phillipjreese.com/the-social-network-that-cant-sell-out-understanding-mastodon-vs-bluesky/ Suspect your best bet for viability is to invest a bit into both platforms. Putting all your eggs in another VC-funded basket is folly.
The Social Network That Can't Sell Out: Understanding Mastodon vs. Bluesky - phillipjreese.com
As users flee from Twitter/X, two visions of social media's future compete: Mastodon's community-controlled network versus Bluesky's venture-backed promises. The difference isn't just technical—it's about whether we'll finally break free from the profit-driven cycle that has degraded every major social platform.
Shane Brehaut@Zitron Well I just found out about this app via reading Cory Doctorows, "Enshitification", immediately signed up. You, Cory and George Takei are the three people I searched for first, to follow. I don't know if this app is making the muneys yet, but it needs more advertising. I'll do my best to spread the word. The owners should think about doing a big marketting push via tech and politics, Youtube channels.
