The Fediverse is utopian but I don’t think anyone here really believes it will ever be anything more than a cluster of fringe communities.

A lot of people like it this way but I really don’t. What I wished happened during the last few reddit exodus was what happened back in around 2010 when digg users ran away to back-then-new reddit. The good thing about the fediverse is that people can actually choose instances they like that defedrates from content they don’t like. I’m a hypocrite if I say I don’t agree with that.

But somehow something must have changed with internet users between the digg-to-reddit exodus to newreddit-to-fediverse exoduses (weird that my auto-complete says this is the correct plural form) and not a lot of people want to contribute for making content. I’m pointing at myself as well so sometimes I do ponder why I don’t be the change I want.

Gist of it is I want reddit circa 2010-2015 on the threadiverse specifically (as I don’t use the micro-blogging side) but it’s having trouble attaining good people that are willing to contribute time and energy to make worthwhile content.

I mean they have to explain it somehow.

Everything is psy-ops

Yep, I have encountered mastodon and the like posts here on Lemmy etc. Somehow a lot of them show up in !firefox@fedia.io

Well actually being in fedia.io it would makes sense, since fedia being mbin supports threaded posts and microblog posts.

At least threaded comments like on here and reddit is a lot easier to follow than on forum sites.

Although I do look back in warm nostalgia quoting forum posts as I back read 3 pages of them when I got back to a forum topic after 3 days. Hell, sometimes even just a few hours if it’s a hot topic. I wouldn’t dream of doing it nowadays though.
