@asklemmy What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?
Twitter is a celebrities’ and public persons’ playground. As well as organisations. Anyone else is on there either to gain prominence or to follow the prominent accounts. Until there’s a suitable fediverse platform that appears as an advantage to those big names, nothing’s gonna change on that front. In spite of all the censorship and cancellations.
Would it be best for Bluesky to then take all the celebs & public figures and work out a bridge between protocols, making it hopefully possible to see their stuff on Mastodon and other places?
As users can then choose if they want to use Mastodon or another alternative like Bluesky.
I’m not familiar with Bluesky so I don’t know the answer to that. But I don’t think any entity can just ‘take all the celebs & public figures’. They are unlikely to move unless they think it’s an advantage to themselves or their organisation.
There’s plenty of Celebs & public figures using Bluesky, as that’s how they started growing their platform originally.
There’s also Threads that have more Celebs & public figures including Bill Gates. So I guess Threads might be the way they will publicly get in on the Fediverse. That’s when they actually fully flesh their ActivityPub stuff and publicly release it.
