With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.
Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?
@taylorlorenz I think part of it is the pr campaign other platforms have waged against it, saying things like there's some sort of eldritch signing-up process that involves Byzantine bureaucracy, and part that we need cool people to show the way, as we saw in the case of #forkiverse their audience in.
