   Please remember that Mastodon doesn't have a marketing team or budget. Whatever media coverage Mastodon gets is from inbound interest from journalists. The growth of the platform has been predominantly through word of mouth. If you want the fediverse to grow, tell your friends.

     @Gargron Also helps to be welcoming and helpful to new users. Mastodon has a reputation for really rancid vibes/scolding.

     @Gargron
     I'm more a "quality over quantity" guy, but if you want more people to come over here, you need to provide the tools that folks have been asking for for years. Like quote posts, and banning racist accounts. So many people come here and give up because of the toxicity, and they are the ones who you would have wanted, because they post interesting, fun content.

     @Gargron I still worry that Mastodon is effectively invisible to website owners because of `noreferrer` on outbound links. I know the community has spoken, but I'm not sure about the trade-off.

     @Gargron In lieu of financial support, which I'm not prepared to offer right now, I'm happy to consult a few hours on strategic communications, media training, etc.

     @Gargron I don’t really mind if fed remains the size it is. Looking towards perpetual growth is part of the reason why many central platforms have become shit.

     @Gargron I tell my friends but they never listen to me. If they did, they would install Signal instead of solely using Facebook Messenger

     @Gargron I've been trying to invite both my IRL friends and online friends, but I seem to be the only one interested in federated/FOSS alternatives to... well, anything.
