I’m so confused!

At first @film_girl dismisses worries about defaulting to mastodon.social as “drama and virtue signaling”.

Then she says that migrating from mastodon.social to elsewhere has a big cost because you “can’t take your posts with you.”

Well, this is why mastodon.social shouldn’t be set as the default server to join: stuff like full text search aren’t supported on it, while that feature is supported on other servers.

This concern isn’t virtue signalling.

@atomicpoet @film_girl can we FIRST try to keep the already registered users active here or coming back before thinking of solutions to attract new users? because i notice people create accounts, login & because there is no interaction, go back to twitter. And when you go to the #introduction page, you find new users looking for who to follow. If #mastodon can create a page like the local or federated feed where every mastodon user is shown randomly, new users will be able to click on those with profiles they find interesting and follow. This will solve part of the "no-interaction" problem driving users back to #twitter or #bluesky or other platforms

@havani The way I understand it, the #ActivityPub protocol has to be updated.

Or, the other projects should implement the #Zot protocol since federated user directory is integrated in it.
