@phnt @marine @alex @NEETzsche @lanodan @mint @hj >While most Pleroma maintainers will probably disagree with me, I want Pleroma to stay a niche project. The same applies to the Fediverse as a whole. Fedi as it is right now, is much cozier than normal social media and with high user count comes corporate BS and other things I don't like on the proprietary walled-garden alternatives.

There's either one of two fates for the fedi: it becomes popular, normified, and the NPC meme of the guy surrounded by them becomes real (after every internet artist has to join a blocked instance to get seen online), or it becomes the eternal containment site always slandered by the media.

Case in point; what Jawsh said about Gab:
"Not to mention Gab suffers from what I refer to as the “8chan problem”, or perhaps more succinctly, the “quarantine problem”. If you make a new service just for people banned from an existing service, you will end up with only that audience. What is attractive about Gab to people not banned from Twitter? Absolutely nothing. There is no reason to go there as someone unaffected by Twitter’s censorship, and furthermore, even as someone affected by Twitter’s censorship, I have no reason to go there because I know people there will mostly agree with what I have to say anyways and it will gain no traction outside of that audience."

If you're not posting lolisho or funny words, why would you be here instead of Twitter? Musk Derangement Syndrome? That's cool, but if you didn't nuke your account to own Musk you can always log back in and everyone I know does this. You're not going to get seen anyways unless you pander to a specific demographic, join the right server, do everything right, etc. At least on centralized sites you'll "be seen", and I've seen people abandon BlueSky when they realize that there's just more content on Twitter.
