With all the tiktok drama I have been telling people Mastodon is still here and kicking!! I love this app and I really think the decentralized model is the best for social media.
Still, people don’t want to join! What do you think Mastodon’s biggest barriers are to courting new users? What could be done to improve the product and grow the user base in a positive way?
@taylorlorenz stop letting the geeks and admins do PR. Nobody cares about platform details, or philosophy. (Well, the ones who do are already here).
Make a way for non-tech users talk about their *social* experience here to unhappy users on other platforms.

@taylorlorenz Who says "it" needs improvement or that it should strive to grow the user base?

@taylorlorenz Honesty. It's very hard to leave the addiction of TikTok. The Videos win over text.

@bitpickup @OrionKidder @NickGates @futurebird @taylorlorenz I'm also on Bluesky.
@IveyJanette @bitpickup @NickGates @futurebird @taylorlorenz I think I need to get off soon if it's true that they welcomed ICE and Trump. That said, I'm hearing that that might have been faked, so I have to look into it more closely.
-
Hope you don't mind if I don't feel addressed by your statements as they don't refer in any way to what I expressed.
@bitpickup @andyinabox @taylorlorenz Yeah, it did:
"The fact that influencer like you refuse to setup their own instances."
-
You can do that already.

@print Sure, you *can*, but what we're talking about is bringing more people in to Mastodon, and something automatic, something one-touch, user-friendly is how you do that: make the default Mastodon "app" a web app, installable like an app.
-
@sidereal @brandonscript @taylorlorenz That's fair. More *real* engagement rather than hundreds or thousands of bot-likes. I'd agree with that.

There are thousands of recent new users here in the Fediverse.
The problem isn't an app.
The problem is not an app.
The problem is no body is talking to them.
The actual social part of social media.

@OrionKidder
No it didn't:
"Provokative wording creates engagement with the content."Also @taylorlorenz isn't someone new like to say "from the start".
The argument as from the get go is about how to:
> courting new users
> improve the product
> grow the user base -

@OrionKidder @bitpickup @NickGates @futurebird @taylorlorenz In any event,I've blocked them.

@aysc This post is sent to the complete Fediverse, shoiuld I write "stay out of the fediverse"? No, I see a great fortune in the fediverse, and that you can convince a lot of people to come here by shownig them the oportunitys. People understand that it is not another app, but a complete real network. It is a possibility to show people that are not loocking for a X replacement, that there is peertube and pixelfeed and friendica. Why do you want to keep your network mastodon only?
@sven222 Nothing was said about the Fediverse in the original post. Again, stay out of the conversation, and don’t try to insert yourself into ones that don’t apply to you.

And yet folks spend inordinate amounts of time and effort on SEO and complex strategies to spoof the algorithms to promote their content.
@mastodonmigration @taylorlorenz algorithms are w new god...
and no one knows the paths of god [or somehow similar]
Google earns money from ads - but algorithms stay hidden - so that's sort of play where only one player knows the rules. Funny - but truth. -
