I read something recently that gave me food for thought. An alternative has to be 10x better for people to switch; and the core experience is what convinces people, not cool extra features.
I don't know how universally applicable it is, but I wonder how Mastodon stacks up in that. Personally I think it's 10x better, but is it really? Or more importantly, are we communicating clearly that it is?
@enkiv2 Yo, I don't give a shit if people switch to Pleroma. The only people who switch to Pleroma are people who are already sold on the idea of federation, which means I've done my job with them. I'm talking about Twitter. If there is something I am talking about and you have to ask, "is it Pleroma or Twitter", I can assure you it's never Pleroma.
