   The tricky question that needs to be asked is can we create tools in the fedi that make it easy for people who have specific reasons not to leave Twitter, FB, Insta, etc., to make that move?
   
   Can we make platforms so undeniable in their utility that it inspires people to make that jump?
   
   As a competitor, these are the kinds of challenges you live for.
   
   This is the kind of stuff I want to build.

     @sikkdays@ourempty.pub I would suggest examining why we are siloed and stuck on specific platforms, especially with the glut of tools available to build these days.
     
     Why in the infinite potential of having an independent communication protocol, are the most popular apps on the fedi poor facsimile of platforms we are allegedly trying to get away from?
     
     Technology exists for us to build entirely new experiences.
     
     But we're not. The way forward involves asking deep and critical questions about why that is.

     @Are0h I agree things need to be easy.

     IMO, which you didn't ask for, the real power is in the Fedi aspect.

     In scifi films we see people connected seamlessly. In reality, we are in silos and stuck with platforms.

     I just imagine watching a movie or show where a character says, "Hold on, I have to make an account on the platform, then submit a friend request and wait for them to accept it. Eventually we'll have the evidence we need."

     I don't know how to deplatform people though.

     Adrian Cochrane repeated this.
