RE: https://swecyb.com/@nopatience/115943320383966077

We don't need more didactic videos or step-by-step manuals about the Fediverse.
Those already exist in abundance. Beyond that, we have something much more powerful: people who are genuinely willing to welcome newcomers, answer questions, and help others find their footing.

What we need is more people creating content that inspires others to stay. Most newcomers aren’t leaving because they don’t understand the concept of the Fediverse. They leave because their timeline seems empty, boring, or irrelevant compared to other platforms that aggressively serve them content.

The real challenge isn't education, but attraction and discovery. If the Fediverse is full of interesting conversations, art, humor, politics, niche expertise, and human warmth, people will accept that building a timeline takes time. But only if there's something worth building toward.

@everton137 Good Point. This may be controversial but I think developing an open source ML algorithm that does not further hate and extremism but respect is something I find worth thinking about.

@timaeus I agree with you. But people are so skeptical about algorithms after 20+ years of big tech social media, that they cannot believe good ones can exit.
