The irony of trying to advertise the Fediverse to the outside - some ideas about the fediverse I had beyond just micro-blogging

You learned the benefits Mastodon had, to the "problem" of big social media sites, that the Fediverse offers to social media, and when advertising it, you believe that this is the platform that everyone wants. Where are they at? Still on the bigger more fulfilled social media platforms.



While Mastodon, has some good record breaking activity compared to any other 'legitimate' Fediverse platform, it's barely comes close to mainline social media. Should we still make the Fediverse about, user rights, but also make it known that users can still have 'fun' spamming memes, or playing games like in Facebook games, possibly some of them being online(maybe even with federated servers for the same games).

Misskey does have, some games, wish they could continue that trend of adding more games, or even, having some indie devs be able to add some. I really want to see the Fediverse at some point look into federated game chats, that would ensure online games wouldn't die over age over time.

I think that is one of the problems when advertising fedi, usually is presented just as an "alternative" when is used to talk about tw but is weird when it is presented as another social place with many communities (⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠;⁠)
