This is great. Celebs need to be on boarded more than Geeks. Getting an Obama or Kim Kardashian to show support would have major global impact. A cascade would start.

The problem is celebs are perfectly happy with current state of social media. Unless they see problems, they might not get onboard. It's only the people who have been through some mess in there life because of social media know how bad is social media.

  As with the 2008 financial collapse, triggering a cascade requires just finding the weakness in just a few who are ready to burn out.

Kim Kardashian's business thrives on "media" and social media. Why would she be on it?
- kodz4 7y ago
  Cause maybe she is tired of the routine. Has made enough money and is watching the effect its having on kids. There are thousands of reasons, because there are so many different unintended effects social media has.

  Not just her business, her identity. Their whole family is based on being a brand.

    One reason would be that her media business is controlled by a corporation that could ban her without notice at any moment and without reason. A decentralized network would allow her more control.

      It would also be harder for her to build an audience and make money from it in the first place.

      The corporations are also making so much money off her content that banning her would be a disaster.

  One way to do this is to tell feminists that men are superior to women as they are more disciplined and likely to go on a much needed social media strike for much longer because they don't quite have the same need for approval and attention from others. And then sit back and watch the fun. :-)

Cascade of what? I expect only cascade of posts on {facebook, twitter, you name it} happening. FB will happily put adverts between posts in that "cascade" ;)

Nah, the geeks need to go there first. The rest always follows. But i think there are not enough geeks in decentraland

  Maybe even geeks can be pragmatic and understand the limitations of the alternative social networks and choose not to bother? I’m in that camp personally.

Keanu Reeves should got on the #fediverse. Cyberpunk77 hordes would fill the Mastodons.
