> In my opinion "the culture" is not worth preserving
The current one likely is not worth it. The one from 5+ years ago was, but now is too late for that.

>I nominate everybody in this thread.
I meant it in "Do you know someone that should be here, but isn't yet." way. Because I genuinely struggle with that, the only one I know doesn't care about social media besides following artists (he would hate misskey.io). You can grow the network with interesting features, but at this point I'm not convinced that if you make a good alternative to walled gardens, people will naturally come. We've had that already and it didn't end well.

@phnt @theorytoe @silverpill @caohuak my theory with migration is that "the normies" will only come if it's polished, normie friendly, marketed, and used enough. Normies have a huge mentally-imposed barrier to anything new/different where the second anything goes wrong they give it up and want their Windows back.

Apple is the only company who could bypass this, take a guess on why.

The "culture" kind of rotted with the great Keffals/LFJ op to shutdown Kiwi Farms and the userbase there used it as a bunker for a while, along with poasties, Jim being banned on Twitter for a while, and then the Mastodon side trying to take over before being given their own reservation to be on (Bluesky). I unfortunately wasn't there for much of the old stuff, I literally tried to use SPC when it was a GS instance and it felt like me and a few friends were trying to force ourselves to use it.

Ironic considering that kfcc posters and orbiters used to be the better quality posters. Sleepy gang, FCE, Cyberia, all came from there. At some point in late 2021 something changed, so I left Fedi for a year, don't even remember what the reason fully was. Probably poasties and politics becoming prevalent (an issue to this day).
