it feels sort of liberated using nothing but decentralized social networks. knowing that I’m being watched all the time and now I’ve just given up using them.

I want to contribute the most I can to the fediverse, Do I still have to upload things on corporate social media to do that?

    There first needs to be content before people will want to use the platforms as their main driver.

    Help get more content on the platform whether that be by uploading your own, creating an instance for specific niche, or scouting out small creators on social media and convincing them to mirror their content to the Fediverse.

      But I do have a few good small creators that I want to ask to come over. Mirroring their content can be good but if they’re mirroring and not interacting at all, It can make a toxic wasteland on the fediverse. Some youtuber that has been in the fediverse has stated this problem of “inactive-mirrored users”.

      you mean content variety? There’s loads of content out there which is mostly tech and political stuff, especially on peertube. Most people would find it appealing to come over if they see content their interested in, whether it be vlogs, commentary, science stuff, music, gaming, art, etc. or you know, the normal content.
