  This!!! Why don’t these reprobates go on Mastodon!

  The fediverse is hostile to ‘professionals’, and missing several features bluesky has, it is not a good replacement for them.

    Couldn’t there be an association of professional societies that runs their own mastodon instance and can control membership and federation?

      Sure, it would likely get very heavily defederated from or attacked, but it could happen.

    By ‘professionals’, do we mean Only Fans content creator? I haven’t tried hard enough to find them, but I assumed they’re here?

    I follow many professional scientists and librarians on the Fediverse.

    Beyond that - well those are the three professions that carry society.

    I don’t see a ton of updates from plumbers and auto mechanics yet, but I think that is just adoption patterns at play?

      People who want to run businesses through social media, Etsy sellers, artists for hire, youtubers, subreddits as a customer service avenue.

      No, we meant all professionals, we have seen journalists and actors be attacked. We aren’t judging whether that was correct or not, just stating that is something which happens.

  Ok, yes, but can we fix the issue where my Lemmy account takes like 10 seconds to load the main subbed feed? The more subs I add, the slower it gets. I got someone to try Lemmy, but they’re rightfully put off by how slow it can be sometimes.

  No but see that’s not corporate and you have to choose a server when you sign up which is haaaaaaard!

    I think we should advertise individual servers instead of the fediverse as a whole

      Yes but then what corporate master can I beg to and be met with silence when they eventually fuck me? Corporations fucking me is kind of my entire sexuality. How will it enshittify? I’m sorry but this all seems too much for me.
