@_elena @ivory @IceCubesApp @phanpy @cheeaun @dansup How do we get some high-profile people to abandon Facebook, Twitter, etc in favor of Fedi? The existing network effect of the legacy social media networks is hard to overcome.

@mshiltonj @_elena @ivory @IceCubesApp @phanpy @cheeaun @dansup Steven: They will come for scraping the content and train their LLM models (if it is not already happening).

@Flipboard is bringing more and more news channels and publishers here onto #fediverse . As more content creators see traction here, they will come.

#Flipboard users would get more traction in the #fediverse if their posts included hashtags. I follow a lot of Flipboard accounts, and it seems they are posting into a void, not where folks would like to discuss their great topical content.
Not a complaint, I just really want Flipboard to be successful here.

Hi, I work on our #activitypub implementation and would be glad to consider your feedback.

I don’t think we want to add a ”voice” to your posts via hashtags without some explicit approval.
