@malte @abekonge I agree that the network effect is the strongest barrier to switching.
It seems like some people organized #fediparty kind of analogous to the cryptoparty concept in Germany a couple years ago. Rebooting this approach seems like the most attractive approach to me, and I'm motivated to try holding one in #leipzig this year
@malte @abekonge while I really like the approach of migrating whole networks at a time, I am a bit skeptical with the level of organizational overhead I imagine your concept requires.
I think people agitating to leave and eventually setting an ultimatum works, and what people do already.
Perhaps we can enshrine the day Twitter was sold to Musk as Exodus day, and agitate for it every year as a coordination point for switching?
@douginamug That's a good idea for some communities - those that had or have a relationship to Twitter. Ultimately, what will work is entirely dependent on each particular community. That's the reason why I'm thinking less in broad one-directional communication campaigns and more in structures that use the "coordination problem" inherent in each community. @abekonge
Thanks so much for sharing, @douginamug! Actually, the workshop has a dedicated website, now!
@tommi Beautiful. I shared it here in Danish: https://forum.fedi.dk/topic/134/strikke-internettet-sammen @douginamug @abekonge
Wowww! Thank youuu, @malte!
