Cats are one of the few mammals that kill for sport aside from humans. I’m sure it’s something aside from that and we’re the root cause, but it’s something to think about.

Fusion. Fusion becoming physically and commercially viable is the only thing that will save us as a species.

That being said, capitalism will ensure that it’s a long fucked up road.

Small price to pay for security. Maybe some small features are worth giving Zuckerberg and friends access to the most intimate personal shit in your life. For me it’s not a problem.

I think people are open minded about migration, but this place is not exactly a warm welcome to new users. For every 1 person that comes and stays, I’d estimate that 5 do not.

It’s frustrating to navigate, it’s not straightforward on how everything works, the differences between “magazines, people, and threads” is not spelled out…how the fediverse is integrated.

Without a coherent and cohesive redesign and or some polished mobile apps to bring it together, it’s futile and wasting the momentum given to it imo.

Coming from Apollo and using Reddit for 15 years, as a tech savvy person, I can say with certainty that the average person (specifically Reddit user) won’t make it much past creating an account. Maybe Christian could work on something for the fediverse. I’d pay for a polished mobile app if he released one.

The hard part for me over the past couple of days is the familiarity, yet completely different way things work.

• I still don’t know how to see only things I’m subscribed to.

• still not receiving notifications

• still having issues searching for and finding new topics etc.

Been only on mobile though, which is very much the likely reason. And the same reason that most people will not stay. It’s not the lack of groups and content. It’s the ease at which they can jump into it. The easier it is (for a mobile user), the more people will come, and the niche forum content will organically arise.
