‘What the fediverse currently _is_, is a countercultural network with little interest in mainstream pop culture. This is an absolutely fine identity to have!’
‘But for the people who are working to bringing the fediverse into the mainstream, it is important to realise that this countercultural identity clashes with with bringing a mainstream cultural identity to the fediverse.’

I want to have this conversation but not force anybody into it (part of our problem imo). a #matrix room perhaps?
@js My one other note to this is that after two or three migrations of new users, the 'Counterculture subset' is just one part of the fediverse population - mostly ones that joined very early. And maybe it one one counter culture subset that is less prevelent on Bluesky, etc, but there are many other new subsets that have joined since with different priorities too.
@tchambers well said, it's hard to paint such a large group of people with any broad brush
I always keep in mind the readers vs writers, and the orders of magnitude between them - culture might seem at first to be defined by the writers, but readers can vote with their feet, er, eyes, er, follows, logins, etc - they are often hard to get an easy handle on
