    it won’t be mandatory, unfortunately. Would’ve loved to see another fediverse mass migration

      The eternal september moment for the fediverse is very much coming

          Once prominent celebrities and more news agencies start to come (and they will, the BBC is a sign of that) the culture will shift faster than you really realize. There is still an insular culture around the fediverse that tends to be a big barrier around entry for “normies” right now. Going on a mastodon instance as a new user with limited technical knowledge can be quite jarring especially if you step out of line of what it seen as culturally fitting for the fediverse

            It’s very much a nerd/geek environment at the moment. There isn’t much for normies to look at…yet.

            BBC R&D is a special case… they’re specifically there to try out new stuff. It isn’t always reflected in the rest of the company. They implemented ipv6 years ago for example, but the main bbc website remains ipv4 only.

          So Green Day want us to wake them up when Usenet is no longer experiencing an influx of new users? 🤨

          Lemmy isn’t the only fediverse platform, Mastodon is growing rapidly as well

      Fuck. I was hoping Elon had a meltdown and made it mandatory.

      Not that Elon having some of your more pedigree info could possibly ever go wrong!

      Yeah I don’t know who they ask to do this but I’ve been on Twitter since 2014 and they’ve never shown me this and if they mandated it I’d leave even though they already have my phone number and know who I’m.
