@Mastodon@mastodon.social Thats great! We love you & Mastodon for this.
BUT this alone is not going to work. Only catching those who can't be or don't want to be somewhere else is not what makes you stick around or relevant. We need things to actually become a sexy social network. :neocat:

@fabiscafe@mstdn.social That's indeed a very good point and a common problem: Big Tech social media has provided us state-of-the-art UI/UX for c. 2 decades "for free" (I think 50% of users still don't know or even care that their data is sold). This has created a user expectation whenever they open new apps (like @Mastodon@mastodon.social) which is almost impossible to meet. It unfortunately boils down to a resource problem: we need more funding, from the user base, from public institutions, from wealthy people, etc.
