it won’t be mandatory, unfortunately. Would’ve loved to see another fediverse mass migration
The eternal september moment for the fediverse is very much coming
interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
So Green Day want us to wake them up when Usenet is no longer experiencing an influx of new users? 🤨
What makes you think we’re not already there?
Once prominent celebrities and more news agencies start to come (and they will, the BBC is a sign of that) the culture will shift faster than you really realize. There is still an insular culture around the fediverse that tends to be a big barrier around entry for “normies” right now. Going on a mastodon instance as a new user with limited technical knowledge can be quite jarring especially if you step out of line of what it seen as culturally fitting for the fediverse
It’s very much a nerd/geek environment at the moment. There isn’t much for normies to look at…yet.
God, imagine the reaction when it’s Facebook refugees coming and not Redditors
This is pretty much the prospect of a former Reddit user like myself. I was there for eight years and stepping away from the bubble has not been easy for me. Not great at swiftly navigating the internet. I was used to having been served a whole cake and now I scramble for crumbs. I won’t go back because Reddit was built on the backs of free labor. Due to gilded cage syndrome, Ive bounced from Mastodon to Tildes and now Lemmy.
BBC R&D is a special case… they’re specifically there to try out new stuff. It isn’t always reflected in the rest of the company. They implemented ipv6 years ago for example, but the main bbc website remains ipv4 only.
The Big Black Cock is a sign of all that? 🤔
the ongoing July
Lemmy isn’t the only fediverse platform, Mastodon is growing rapidly as well
Fuck. I was hoping Elon had a meltdown and made it mandatory.
Not that Elon having some of your more pedigree info could possibly ever go wrong!
Yeah, it’s only for people stupid enough to pay for Twitter.
Yeah I don’t know who they ask to do this but I’ve been on Twitter since 2014 and they’ve never shown me this and if they mandated it I’d leave even though they already have my phone number and know who I’m.
