Nobody goes to Instagram to talk about Instagram, nobody goes to Tiktok to talk about Tiktok, nobody goes to Facebook (at all).
That’s because the companies take care of the techie stuff, while in the fediverse, we have to do that. So, it’s natural, I guess 🤷.
The fediverse will never appeal to the masses if we don’t embrace a wide variety of hobbies and interests.
I don’t think most of us actually want that. Then, it’ll become just like FB or Insta… the crowd I mean. The point is to attract the right audience, not just any audience.
We need people here talking about cooking. We need people here talking about fashion.
See, that is exactly what I want to get away from… you have that on TikTok and FB/Insta. That is exactly what I don’t want to see here. Of course, anyone can open a comm like that, I probably wouldn’t block it, but short clips of someone roasting hotdogs with cheese and calling that a super easy and healthy meal… nah, that is not for me.
Fashion as well. Those topics are for influencer wannabe types. That’s not what we’re trying to build here, are we?
Yes, if you go to /m/fashion right now, it’s… barely there.
Apparently, people around here are not interested in that topic 🤷. I’m sure a comm like that would be very popular on Insta.
This is the “content” people are craving.
Once again, the kind of people we’re not trying to attract anyway.
