With the worldwide wave of social media bans on major platforms aka digital verification, I wonder if we’ll see an influx of people to the Fediverse?
🤞🤞🤞 here is hoping <3

There is a middle ground between pulling up the ladder and trying to get everyone in the world on board.
Everyone who is genuinely interested is more than welcome but the fediverse is currently not equipped to handle hundreds of thousands or even millions of new users. Let the general public find their own niche and concentrate on the ones who find us on their own or through friends.
Who realistically believe millions of new users will come to the fediverse in short period of time? Mastodon is groeing around 2000 and less new users per day
Apparently people who hope that social media bans will drive a significant amount of people to the fediverse. This is how this whole thread started. To which I replied that I don’t want the fediverse to grow too rapidly. I would be very happy with slow but steady growth.
I get that but an ultra rapid growth in long term is very very unlikely to happen
Which is good. I’m just annoyed by the constant “What can we do to get all those people over here” threads that have been popping up the last few weeks because I don’t think that should even be our goal in the first place, no matter how unrealistic it is.
