Gregory's Server@atomicpoet I think the other reason that many don’t stay is that the Mastodon community is not that great at welcoming new users and helping them to feel at home.

Well that may be true; but also, the sheer volume of doom scrolling in twitter for #lazyweb could be another attraction for some. Plus all that nonsense. #fediverse in comparison, is more substantive. @arin_basu @atomicpoet As it is now, I think the users who stick around are those who are able to read instructions and persevere. That does select for a subset of people that I particularly like, so it works for me. 🙂 Well said! For me too, 'subset of people I particularly like' and feel safe to discuss things as well. Nice, safe, interactive, get to discover new people and topics, what more can you ask from a 'social media app', and what more rewards will satisfy people 🙂 ?  @arin_basu @KolokokoBird I'll be real. I wish critical communications were delivered through the Fediverse. I don't want to be checking Twitter to find out health policy and economic data. @atomicpoet @KolokokoBird @arin_basu @atomicpoet @KolokokoBird @lightweight I don't know which country you reside in but afair a lot of them has the same if not more detailed announcement on their own Health Department websites. |
@KolokokoBird This is true. In the past, I've had certain folks get hostile to me because I said that the Fediverse should be for everyone.
And I stand by that notion.
