- toomuchtodo 2y agoIf Mastodon is too much of a lift in the near term (social network effects are admittedly hard and humans are tricky), Threads is an option for a Fediverse-compatible managed solution. Not hard to get the top 10 folks over to threads (except a few folks who probably wouldn't migrate): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Twitter_accounts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Twitter_...

Drag the normies. Popular social management tools already support Threads as well (Buffer comes to mind). https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/threads-has-entered-the-fediverse/ https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/21/networking-traffic/thr... https://help.instagram.com/760878905943039 https://help.instagram.com/760878905943039 https://buffer.com/threads https://buffer.com/threads (think in systems)

- wkat4242 2y agoIf a normie can sign up for a Twitter account they can sign up for mastodon. It's not difficult. The problem is more marketing. The commercials have the ability to spend money where mastodon has to rely on enthusiasts' word of mouth. They simply lack the reach to the normie community.
