Folks should also check out neodb.social . it’s good reads, letterboxd, and steam reviews all in one.

Always a good idea. I’ll reach out to them.

It’s less about news and more about advocacy.

One strategy that I’d like to specifically promote is fediverse users calling attention to spaces of the internet where people are talking about the fediverse but there’s relatively few users there that can share their experience.

To that end I’ve been considering things like:

• Fedimigration Reinforcements
• Fedimigration Support Team

Keep in mind that whatever name we pick will also be the hashtag that the Mastodon contingent of this project will end up using. As it stands, they would see posts from this community under #growthefediverse

I’m actually doing some research on monetization options now. Hopefully going to put together an overview of the options available soon.

In my mind. Bluesky is good enough. I’m frequently talking with people through the bridge without realizing it.

But Pixelfed just isn’t a thing most people know about it seems.

You’d be surprised. I’ve had several people reach out unprompted and specifically ask about it

I was unaware of this project. Will be using going forward

The other side of this is that click through rates on legacy social has cratered. Almost certainly due to bot driven inflated engagement metrics.

My understanding is that there’s currently not a better way to do it

I think Mobilizon and Gancio have a huge role to play here. Very strange that Mobilizon doesn’t have a significant English language server (last I checked anyway).

Honestly, BlueSky is a lot better than the mainstream social sites. I’m certainly not mad about it. Not to mention

X -> BlueSky -> Mastodon

is a lot easier for some than

X -> Mastodon

This article over on technology is still in the early stages. Lot’s of questions but few answers. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1i9rzy0/open_source_and_ethical_tiktok_whatsapp_and/

EDIT: A couple of new posts of Pluralistic articles

Loops and sup started as upgrades to pixelfed and then got spun off.

It’s not really a whatsapp alternative. More like a facebook messenger alternative. It replaces and encrypts dms from mastodon, pixelfed, lemmy, etc

Totally did. I’ll work on that

I see where you’re coming from, but I personally do not recommend further complicating the message.

That community seems to be about growing communities. Whereas, this community is about migrating people from legacy social.
