Right now, we are frequently posting contents and interacting with the communities in order to make Fediverse more alive and more "social" as social media. But really, compared to Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, we probably don't even exist.

We need that one person, who will be actively using, or at least interested in Fediverse and is popular enough to put Fediverse onto the mainstream.

If there is that one person, who would be the best for that?

How would this benefit the Fediverse?

I'm not opposed to this idea, I'm just not sure what it would accomplish. Even Mark Zuckerberg understood that you would need a host of celebrities to get people on board with Threads. Nostr has Jack Dorsey and Edward Snowden but you don't see tons of people flocking to that platform.

I think that people need to get this idea of "winning" out of their head. We need to try and cultivate the userbase we want rather than focus on "beating" Threads/Reddit/Twitter/etc.

Don't focus of numbers, focus on good content.
