With the worldwide wave of social media bans on major platforms aka digital verification, I wonder if we'll see an influx of people to the Fediverse?

🤞🤞🤞 here is hoping <3

Probably will see an influx of new accounts, then some will drift away and some will stay.

I've been thinking about how to grow the fediverse in my neck of the woods as the global south has very little adoption. Besides hosting a localized (Spanish in my case) server, most people don't even know the fediverse exists. So maybe some old school flyer's and zines to get the word out about the Fediverse. As it stands, most people aren't making a choice to not be on the Fediverse, they don't even know it exists.

it helps to post stickers

Have you seen @stefan@stefanbohacek.online's fediverse zine? Available in several languages, here's the spanish translation: https://jointhefediverse.net/zine?lang=es-es

Oh god not feddit.org though 😭🤣

absolutely, I'm trying to raise awareness as much as I can, you should come to !FediPropaganda@lemmy.world, let's strategize together on how to get more people over here <3

The fediverse is going to be more politically charged because picking it over corporate media is already a largely ideological choice.
