@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. What I mean is keep not immitating #twitter, but to keep maing it more healthy and to invite more people
@applepine yes. I held this poll a couple days ago, with delightful results on the social experience of the current #fediverse: Dispersed cozy villages with here and there a bustling city..

That is a great outcome, and something to cherish and protect.
Currently I feel the slow growth of the #ActivityPub fediverse is healthy and natural growth we can cope with. And #Bluesky being the lightning rod for corporate attention, borrows more time to mature and evolve.
The #SocialWeb dynamics will totally change if the technology adoption lifecycle gets beyond early adopter phase, and 1,000's of commercial vendors start to launch products in this new market space that we, pioneers, made available to them.
The question is whether we can handle that. I think currently we cannot and we have to hand over fedi's fate to the market and hope for the best.
