With the worldwide wave of social media bans on major platforms aka digital verification, I wonder if we’ll see an influx of people to the Fediverse?
🤞🤞🤞 here is hoping <3
I actually hope the fediverse doesn’t grow too rapidly. Otherwise we will also be forced to implement age verification.
I’m actually afraid the opposite might actually happen.
if users (especially new potential users to the Fediverse.) find that social media requires them to id verifiy most of them will probably just either stick to a narrow smaller few of sites they know people use, or they’l obsolete themselves from the social media aspects of the internet entirely.
And I’m afraid of the opposite: that most will just upload their IDs everywhere and allow “you don’t have to worry if you have nothing to hide” to become accepted stance
Yeah, for Facebook. Will people trust smaller sites like Piefed.zip, in droves?
Currently not looking too good… We have a pretty constant 1 million active users. Despite all the previous enshittification of mainstream social media. But yeah, that’s the spirit 👍
million
Let’s continue to do our best to promote, over time people will find the way :))
