Over the last week or so I have noticed that I have a lot more fun engaging in discussions on here as opposed to reddit.

On reddit i always felt like i was shouting into the void and there was nobody listening, which resulted in me becoming a lurker for the last 12 years.

Maybe it’s the small size of this community, the lack of karma farmers, that I’ve finally lost my mind or a little bit of all of the above, but this place just feels like something special. I’m really looking forward to building the fediverse with all of you!

    Every major forum/social media site has had this adoption curve. The early adopters are dedicated and can actually see their contributions make a difference. As the site attracts more and more casual users the quality of interactions descends to the lowest common denominator and loudest voices.

    For that reason, I think there will always be demand for a “new thing” because those early adopter contributors are so good at making it happen.

      I think I would like the FEDIVERSE even when its the “old thing” just because as far as I can tell, the product itself seems like a terrible place for investments and profits. Then again, I could be WAY off here.

      Also, at the moment, there’s an almost complete lack of marketing/advertising, which is REALLY nice.
