@paco @BenAveling it is just a stupid electronic device

@paco that's an absurd chart. Here's how you compare to who knows how how many users of an app most people have never heard of that is fitness related. Probably mostly used by fairly athletic people.

If you have seen this strange hashtag #forkiverse itβs a bunch of people joining a server run by some big podcasts. It seems to have gotten a lot of activity because they just featured it in a podcast episode. Hereβs the link to the episode.
@paco Thank you. I like the name. Was confused what it was.

@Hicsumus @paco The podcasters include @Casey of Platformer fame, and also @kevin who's the NY Times tech reporter.
So very prominent and respected tech journalists.
They've written a lot about the problems with social media over the years.
So as an experiment, they decided to try setting up their own social network using Mastodon, and encouraged their listeners to join.
So far, around 2000 listeners have signed up.
And I personally hope it works

"Three podcasters whoβve spent years critiquing social media companies try to build their own small alternative social media."
LOL OK, that's *one* incredibly disingenuous way to say "we stood up a Mastodon server." SMH.

Your post about got me thinking what made you interested in that? -

Good luck to him! -

#theforkiverseBut it is a Mastodon instance right? So all users are part of the Fediverse with all the problems that the Fediverse has.

Right: it is a #Mastodon instance. So all #theforkiverse users are part of the #Fediverse with all the benefits and potential that the Fediverse has.

@visionaire Itβs just new people discovering the fediverse. No more, no less. Like when #fuckaas came online or any other server that has a sudden spike in membership. Thereβs no fuss. Just the frothy enthusiasm of new people trying something new and hoping it will be good.
Iβm trying to be enthusiastic right back at them. I want to make them welcome. Help them stay. Iβm following a bunch so they have followers and see interactions. I boost their stuff so they get exposure. Iβm trying to make their feeds less empty.
Iβm trying, frankly, to give them the opposite of the finger-wagging, grouchy welcome that new users have often gotten. One thing at a time. Get them in and enjoying themselves. Gradually introduce them to the culture without putting them off.
