In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

That’s the key, you have to figure out what instance is best for you. With a million choices you get choice paralysis mixed with FOMO and they just don’t bother.

IMO that’s probably the biggest problem with anything decentralized like this. The average person doesn’t care about the benefits and the above is by far a big barrier to entry.

The biggest advantage of a decentralized system is that none of the people who are unwilling to invest even the briefest amount of time into understanding something will end up using it.

Most of us don't care what the average person has to say on social media, as demonstrated by what they average person has said on social media over the past 15 years.

If you don’t appeal to the masses then lemmy will stay small, and pushes like threads will wipe it out in no time.

IMO that’s also mastodons biggest problem. They’re essentially trying to stay small an unsuccessful.
