I love how so many people are racking their brains on why the #Fediverse isn’t very sticky. It’s the algorithm or the UI or the confusion over selecting servers or moderation issues.

We don’t have any cool #celebrities. Like there’s a reason #threads launched with famous people. It’s why #twitter and #Instagram are so popular. It’s a way for normal people to interact with and feel involved with the lives of rich famous people.

If I could pay for cool celebrities to join a mastodon server all the complaints people are fighting about wouldn’t matter at all.
