minus-squarechalupapocalypse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoExactly, no one cares until Mr beast or Beyonce moves and they aren’t going to mastodon haha
minus-squareDa_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyilinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoIf they do, it will be because we’ve reached an arbitrary critical mass. Think, mastodon has 2.1M active users now, twitter has 230M active users. Mastodon will be considered viable at roughly the same number of users that caused the media to think of twitter as “mainstream” I’m thinking at least 20M users, 10x what mastodon has now.
minus-squareweedazz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoI would like more of a sports presence here tho and unfortunately sports beat writers I followed on Twitter aren’t coming here
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoNo, screw sports! Open your own instance for that. It was so annoying to block sports on reddit every single week.
minus-squarerigatti@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWhy did you have to do it every week?
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoBecause a new sub would pop up every week. Braves, nhl, baseball, redsox, golf, etc.
minus-squareweedazz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoYeah I meant more in it’s own instance vs here. But what I’m saying is even if I do I won’t get the breaking news content I want because the journalists are not switching over
