What would make Mastodon prominent social media platform in regular people's eyes when it's not any of these (opposing opinions in parentheses):- Mastodon is free and open source (means nothing to the people)- Many known people use Mastodon (not enough or not the right people)- 14 million users (clearly not "enough" when compared to centralized services OR not the right people)- Activity and engagement from a personal perspective is way better than in other services (a subjective opinion or a "bubble" doesn't prove anything for anyone)- Better features (what good are they when nobody notable uses Mastodon and the service is nothing)- It's been active for a long time and Fediverse is vast (who cares about that, it's for the tiny communities and for nerds)- You just choose the server, create an account and start using it (too complicated and weird)I give up.#Mastodon #Fediverse #SocialMedia

@rolle The real questions are... does Mastodon really need everyone here? Should we be trying to get everyone on Mastodon?Right now Mastodon fits a very specific audience and that's a good thing. It won't be everyone's cup of tea and that's totally cool.I hope more social media platforms pop up and give people options, like the internet was decades ago.

@mikey @rolle Why can't #Mastodon be for everyone?

@rolle Two things:1. Functional, there are no quote posts, groups, or public lists2. Critical mass issue, there aren't a lot of people here talking about the most popular things that aren't politics, like #CFB or the #NFL

@cobra We're talking about #Mastodon there, not #Akkoma or #rebased(@rolle is a dev and I'm expecting him to know the difference between #Mastodon the software and #Fediverse the network)

@rolle @realcaseyrollins I personally found the @nfl group to be pretty active this weekend. There may be a CFB one as well. For me, I find that there are lots of regular humans here, as opposed to corporate PR teams and bots. The conversational quality is better, but the polished corporate announcements are fewer.

@dashrb @rolle @nfl The bots here are great, I think we have the perfect amount of them here.Maybe it's just not that I'm in any groups, I do find them to be a bit spammy, and generally use hashtags to see posts per topic, rather than groups.

@realcaseyrollins @rolle are you sure about that second one? My feed was all NFL last night.FYI, in case you didn’t know, you can follow #hashtags.

@matthewmuses @rolle I only saw a handful of posts about the #NFL over the past 24 hours. I suppose I should think about following hashtags, although my main account is on a #rebased instance, which doesn't support hashtag following.

@lnxw37b2 @realcaseyrollins Nope, not seeing any options for following a hashtag in #rebasedThat said, is following hashtags really that big of a feature? @alex have you considered adding this feature?

@realcaseyrollins @matthewmuses @rolle Follow the @nfl group. I copy it into everything I post on #NFL and then you can follow the accounts who post NFL content from that.For NFL mirror accounts try https://sportsbots.xyz

@paprikapink @rolle "does everyone need Mastodon".. we know the real answer to that is "No". No one needs any of this if we're being honest. People can function perfectly fine without social media.

@realcaseyrollinsTrue, but I wouldn’t be surprised if regular folks would see that too as a downside. @PersistentDreamer

@emarktaylor @matthewmuses @rolle @nfl I absolutely love sportsbots, I do follow the major #MSM ( #FS1 & #ESPN) shows on there so that I have an idea of what's going on. That's how I found out that #AaronRodgers tore his achilles last night.

@realcaseyrollins @matthewmuses @rolle @nfl I only followed the sports journos on Twitter and that was about it - and they are all here via @sportsbots .So I've lost nothing from Elon's handiwork. But I have found 100s of like minded folk here to chat with.So it's been win-win for me.

@emarktaylor @matthewmuses @rolle @nfl @sportsbots The nice thing is, the ones that aren't on sportsbots (there are a few of them) can just be followed via bird.makeups instead

@realcaseyrollins @matthewmuses @rolle @nfl @sportsbots Ah! You discovered that too.It's been on the fritz for a couple fo weeks but it seems to be returning.Plus I'm lucky to be on an instance that allows these services - some don't.I mean, why would an instance block sportsbots - makes no sense to me.

@matthewmuses @nfl @realcaseyrollins @sportsbots @emarktaylor @rolle @dnkrupinski rumor is that there’s an edit button for mistakes like that, but maybe it’s on the web interface? (The app I use doesn’t have one)

@dashrb @matthewmuses @nfl @realcaseyrollins @sportsbots @rolle @dnkrupinski I use Tusky on Android - you can edit your posts. You definitely can on the browser as I can't spell 'teh' 90% of the time and am always fixing it.

@realcaseyrollins It depends on the instance you are at and the app you're using. Not sure which Mastondon version is required at least.
