npub120zh308gs69j3vwgvvrzgglv58vsk3q0vef43uajyu0lc3mtldsq2p33r2 (npub120z…33r2) Yesterday, I expressed exasperation that Mastodon users don't try other Fediverse services. The sheer numbers bear witness too this.
While Mastodon has ~10 million accounts,
pixelfed (npub1q03…622l) only has ~150,000 accounts.
That means 9,850,000 of you have never tried
#[0] Currently, what's preventing us from an explosion of innovative Fediverse services?
Mental paradigms.
We've been so thoroughly trained to believe that social media should operate through a walled garden, that we so many of us don't actually believe it that the Fediverse offers a functional alternative.
"What? #[1] can talk to Mastodon -- but it's not Mastodon? Impossible!" they say.
-- and besides, Pixelfed is one of the most popular Fediverse services.
This unwillingness to try the rest of the Fediverse could end up killing the Fediverse!
