> if you post something on TikTok and it's good, people will see it, and so that obviously creates a much stronger motivation to produce rather than to consume. You took one part of my comment and missed all the other, more important parts where we were discussing about a platform people can have "closer" conversations. My whole argument about the Fediverse is that (most) people are not looking for extrinsic motivation to produce. I've seen very little people worrying about "going viral" and like I said the systems are mostly designed to discourage these things. Having someone "posting a lot" will quickly be seen as a nuisance and people will stop following them, or get outright blocked.
