I feel like I should mention that this project is heavily inspired by projects like Mastodon, and uses similar copy and representations in some places.

I hope @Gargron doesn't mind, in the event he does, or other projects do, I will rectify it.

It's important to me that we keep this as unbiased as possible, as much as I'd love to use this to pixelfed's advantage, I also realize that this represents something bigger than pixelfed and me.

@dansup It's not that I mind though I do worry that you might be copying something suboptimal instead of discovering something that works better. I have never been super confident in my choice of taglines.

@Gargron I understand that, but you don't give yourself enough credit in this regard.

I tried to come up with something for the hero copy, but nothing vibed like "Social networking, back in your hands"

@dansup @Gargron Agreed. It’s a pretty damn good tagline if I do say so myself.

@marquiskurt @dansup Well, there's a selection bias here. People who would've found it so compelling are here, but the others aren't.

@Gargron @dansup I suppose so. But at the same time, with how other social networks operate and the rise of privacy concerns across various technologies, it would seem promising to at least some that aren’t in the fediverse yet, no?

@Gargron @marquiskurt Well I think its more complex than that.

How many twitter users were convinced to join because of marketing copy?

The goal is to convince the users who took the time to actually read this site, not measure conversion rates.

@dansup @Gargron I just love both of you for making all this real and putting the end-user in front of everything

@Gargron @marquiskurt @dansup For now it works good! And who knows, maybe in the future you’ll come along something better. Masto and Pixelfed are always open for evolving or growing right :fediverse:​
