rooftopjaxx<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@witchescauldron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>witchescauldron</span></a></span> <br>OK, you post on this stuff almost as frequently as a clock chimes, more often than the cockerel crows. We'll bite seeing as it's full moon and allegedly the best time for sowing seeds.<br>• Where are your audience, who are your <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sheeple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sheeple</span></a>? Most will be blithely hopping in and out of the various walled gardens, so how are they to discover, or be persuaded to, the joys of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenWeb</span></a>; that it's the (non-cancerous) <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growth</span></a> (aka <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostGrowth</span></a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a>) they're truly looking for? How are they to be converted into disciples and evangelists?<br>° From the opposite POV, what sort of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/silo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>silo</span></a> are you going to build for your composting needs. The sort of open skip that other people will opportunistically fill up rapidly with all sorts of shit and trash? And will you be relying on the rakes, forks and shovels of a huge team of mods? How will they be onboarded? Or a pay-what-you-can-or-will model where people can post all their shit until moved on?<br>• And with respect to your pitch for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OMN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMN</span></a>, just as inevitably, as the Esther Dysons of this word can never be unheard saying, "Does it even scale?"</p><p>Would merrily go off on further tangents on the Peertube/Youtube dilemmas, what is to be done with an anarcho-silo like Kolektiva, and so on, but hey there's other nettles to be scythed. Does it all go into the mix and get broken down into some lovely fluffy and friable rich humus in the end?</p><p><wildcat emoji><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>compost</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/shitposting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shitposting</span></a></p><p>cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://todon.eu/@MediaActivist" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>MediaActivist</span></a></span></p>
