  1. Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
  2. Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you're on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
  3. People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
  4. People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
  5. Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.

Some friends of mine also think Twitter just has better content to consume when scrolling through. Too comfy & don't care enough about who runs it & the issues to jump off. It gives them what they want.

  1. People who need to follow various government entities that are only on twitter and facebook.

For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.

Or self host a mastodon server.

Bluesky is not a true alternative. Just recently there were news about them banning opposition accounts in Turkey.

When is the last time you demanded a government agency do something that wasn't already their idea, and they did it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Or mastodon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Been using Mastodon for about two years now and never going back.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I agree with the sentiment, but the action doesn’t do anything to address the immediate issue

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

If people of your country is more likely to use Twitter, moving to Bluesky is not even realistic.

Also, for a lot of countries, moving to Bluesky is like moving from American controlled platform to the same American controlled platform.

Need is a strong word

It's legit applicable for people that have Twitter just for realtime earthquake warning.

At least its applicable for Indonesian users.
