@PurpCat @amerika @dcc @p @0 @eriner @viber @dj @FourOh-LLC @Hoss Self hosting is a dead end if you don’t already have an audience.
Either that or you will have to work your ass off to find and participate in hellthreads to get anyone to know you.

  @istvan @PurpCat @amerika @dcc @0 @eriner @viber @dj @FourOh-LLC @Hoss I think fedi does not work well for "audience"-style stuff. If you just show up and see people doing cool shit and then you talk to them and you ask them about their cool shit then you sorta end up where the cool shit is going down.

  By what metric? The people I want to talk to are here. There are more fascinating people here than I can keep up with. I care about that. I cook up a pot of chili, it's because I want to eat a pot of chili, and someone comes through and says "Well, this is too spicy to sell in huge numbers and it takes you too long to make it", the response--provided I don't freeze up trying to figure out why he's talking about sales figures--is that I'm not selling it. The broadcast channel, the "audience", I couldn't give a shit about that even if I had a mountain of cocaine. If I want to broadcast something, I've got blogs.
  
  Your fundamental assumptions are off. Here is a pirated mp3, feel free to say some gamer words, attach a PDF. We can talk here. I don't know exactly when Twitter stopped being useful as a place to talk to people, but that was what I was using it for initially. Friends were there, I'd talk to them, that was fun. It turned into a mall. I don't want to sip an Orange Julius while I check out the sale at Tommy Bahama's, so now I'm here. This place *can't* turn into a mall. There's no way to control the message. So George Takei wants to posture about politics and a bunch of people suck his dick in replies that he doesn't read: this place is unsuitable for that, so they've gotta block everyone that doesn't play along. The place isn't Twitter, it's not Facebook, it's not like any of those places, and that's a fucking relief: I don't like those places.

  Not just FOSS vanity projects, but even the quality of art, photography, and writing here is generally abysmal.
  
  If we are going to be honest... well, one should always be honest. There's a reason big social is kicking our asses.

  Fedi is winning this competition hard. I've mentioned it before, but even gab is over-run with bots. I haven't been there, but my guess is, truth social is as well.
  
  What is the difference between fedi and other larger platforms? It is literally that you can talk to anyone here, because they can actually see you. There has been many times where people came from other platforms to fedi. Where I could literally never talk to them there, because there was so much meaningless interaction directed at them.
  
  People get addicted to the automated response, for their approved ideas. Almost none of them stay on fedi.
  
  That has changed a little bit with this last wave from gab for poast and NCD. They seem to be losing the battle for their heart and soul, but if they do, at least they can be defederated.

  Do you have a link to a bot on Gab?

  Are you saying there aren't any? Having had to scrub them out of the DB to keep FSE afloat when Gab was federating (and hammering the shit out of us with botposts), I can say that the bots outnumbered the humans.

  Let me be slightly more helpful than that. I described a heaven banning situation. And, you want an example of an individual bot. But, my Turing test isn't good enough to differential between bots and people. So, what I am trying to say is, you are asking for evidence that doesn't exist, to prove an assertion that can only be seen with macro analysis.
  
  That is to say, you've not understood the assertion, and asked for evidence that doesn't exist.

  Just looking for an example out of curiosity. Didn't mean to put you out.
  
  I sense that the "Monday is coming" vibe has descended on the #Fediverse, a failed Twitter clone :)

  @p @amerika @dcc @PurpCat @0 @eriner @viber @dj @FourOh-LLC @Hoss Sorry, I was going back through this and realized someone else's vocabulary was creeping into my replies.
  I didn't mean to say audience. What I had in head was more a "new kid at school" problem.
  A blank TL on a private node with no followers/followed makes it hard to find anyone to interact with.

  @p @amerika @dcc @PurpCat @0 @eriner @viber @dj @FourOh-LLC @Hoss Maybe a crash course for fediverse interaction would be to tell everyone on a new server to send @jeffcliff a message that COVID isn't a problem.
  They will instantly make friends with jeff and everyone who dogpiles on jeff's replies.

  Yeah. You have to start in a place. When I stood up FSE, I just imported my following list from the previous instance, timeline filled up immediately. (The bugout zone was even easier, of course.)

  > i wish i could pay someone for hard drive space and i wish that the companies i give money to did not try to silo my data, though i will not stop giving them money if they continue to silo my data
  
  No, he's still up his own asshole and still hasn't managed to say anything interesting or insightful. If you wanted to spend some time convincing him to move from fedi to Gab, though, that would be entertaining.

  Didn't they just lose Dissentr or whatever? That was like their one functional thing that people wanted, now they're the less popular mastodon.
