   i think fedi cannot reach mass popularity
   
   people just want a brand to be sold to them, that's the only way they will care about anything pc related

     @NeonPurpleStar this is the crux of it, i think

     when i have asked people and gotten into conversations of any depth, this is always the one reason that i cannot imagine ever overcoming... people want to engage with brands

     fedi is about engaging with a community... it's about having social experiences... but that's not really what mass adopters want from social media; they want to be sold a brand.

     totally.

     @terraboops i feel the same way about this as well
     
     i think fedi is a safe and friendly space, heavily because it requires an academic like love for computing

     @NeonPurpleStar honestly tho i don't think i am sad about this???

     it actually seems good... like this is a little slice of heaven... an internet community that is inherently resistant to being productized.

     is good <3

     plus i am weird, no need for mass adoption... i just need weirdo adoption <3

     @NeonPurpleStar ehhh... idk... i have seen plenty of computer academics create toxic spaces before ha...

     and some of my favourite fedizens are non-technical and non-academic :)

     i think it's because it lures in people who really care about genuine community and the conversations and cross-pollination that such interactions bring ✨
