‘But for the people who are working to bringing the fediverse into the mainstream, it is important to realise that this countercultural identity clashes with with bringing a mainstream cultural identity to the fediverse.’

@js My one other note to this is that after two or three migrations of new users, the 'Counterculture subset' is just one part of the fediverse population - mostly ones that joined very early. And maybe it one one counter culture subset that is less prevelent on Bluesky, etc, but there are many other new subsets that have joined since with different priorities too.
