    Sure, I get that, it’s just when it eventually becomes corrupt or falls apart, everyone that moved from Twitter to Threads to Bluesky will find another platform. Nobody is going to move to Mastodon until the people they want to follow move there too.

    In my three attempts to make Mastodon work for my needs in the last few years, I can’t follow NBA or NFL news, catch up on AEW wrestling or hang out with IRL friends.

    The content I want/need simply isn’t there. Until it is, i don’t really care how private it is or how perfectly decentralized it is.

      Bring them to Mastodon. I got family to join because it is the exclusive place that they can see updates on my life and see pics of the family. I have no qualms about not talking to most of my family though 🤷🏻‍♂️
