I wonder if this focus on recruiting people to “Mastodon” or “the Fediverse” is misguided. Perhaps we will have more success recruiting people to small online communities that feel relevant to them – either because of a geographic connection or a shared interest or lived experience. The branding would feel relevant and local, not lofty and distant. Federation is just the added bonus that allows a community to be connected to the wider world and not exist in isolation – an underlying protocol which seems like a no-brainer to us but isn't a drawcard to the average user.
