With the recent happenings in the United States, the dangers of the privately owned Internet is more apparent than ever, and frankly, it's scary. And so I'd like to make a simple request to anyone who is reading this; Please use the Fediverse, just a little more.

I personally hate it when I'm stuck having to visit say, YouTube or Reddit to get information, or to entertain myself in quiet moments, and if you're reading this, the likely chance is you're the same.

All I want to ask of you is to just comment a few more times, press send on that post that you felt wasn't of enough substance to be worth anyone's time. We have such a small community compared to everywhere else, but what we do have in common is that, in the grand scheme of things, we are the early adopters. And if we take that to heart and make this space a little bigger, maybe it will be just big enough we won't have to visit walled gardens so often.

Thank you :)

I think 90% of my posts are deleted before sending because I just know that someone somewhere will find a way to be mad about it

But OK - here is a post that I would usually have deleted :)

I think I'm fully maxxed out.

And that was after I'd been on kbin.social for six months.

Just took a look and wow, I think you might be right, haha. Be proud, you are the fediverse's best soldier. 🏅

2025 year of the fediverse???

Jokes aside, i completely agree. Meta and Xitter completely shot themselves in the foot (lol) and pixelfed is gaining mainstream attention, and the new year just started!

I predict we'll gain a massive influx of new users next year, due to the kindness of Zucc and Muskrat 😊

And who says they've never done anything good?

But yeah, let's ride that momentum all the way into the year of the fediverse!

Couldn't agree more.

I think one that can be done is to create a pinned FAQ post in Reddit on the fediverse sub Reddit. I have seen so many questions popping up lately with a lot of potential users that seem confused.

If I had a Reddit account, I would absolutely try doing that. Unfortunately, I think I'm gonna have to hope someone does it for me.
