Shoutout to our hard-working maintainers, first of all.

Wanted to open a space for the community to discuss this aspect of marketing/identity.

I won't go so far as to use the word "normie" like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it's fine. I'd rather have slow growth, thanks. I'm not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don't want to hang out with them.

Does he know that x.com is literally one of the biggest website on the Internet?

That's partly why I'm here. I don't want a big place where every normie shows up, and it just becomes facebook. Does this specific sever want to become a mega-platform?

Are people actually sharing fediverse links directly? I just save the image or copy the link the post is linking to, and share that.

Yeah, why not? They obviously suck and I did have a couple of "I'm not clicking that, wtf" reactions. Only then do I save and send the image.

Yeah, why not?

So they don't need to click something to see the thing, they just get it?

Cross-post the thing to another instance, then share that link.

You could always use lemmy.org

How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they're all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.
