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

    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.
