@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?

    There’s plenty of Celebs & public figures using Bluesky, as that’s how they started growing their platform originally.

    There’s also Threads that have more Celebs & public figures including Bill Gates. So I guess Threads might be the way they will publicly get in on the Fediverse. That’s when they actually fully flesh their ActivityPub stuff and publicly release it.

          I believe Twitter still has hundreds of millions monthly active users. That’s tough competition.

            Yeah, well, at least it’s said to have that many active users but logging in once in a month to check 1 post. So less than 10 seconds on the website / app counts as active.

            I’m sure it’s slightly inflated. Hopefully indie developers and other smaller public figures come across.

              good point, but how active are those 2 Million users on Bluesky counted? Even the daily active user count is said to be 2 orders of magnitude more than Bluesky. That’s a lot of people with a very wide range of interests, political leanings and priorities. Most of them have never heard of federated networks and won’t be interested unless their favourite celebrity, jounalist, politician or you name it moves to a platform that just so happens to be federated. By all means, build bridges, but I don’t have the solutions.
