Cuz believe it or not, people tend to use microblogging platforms to connect with others in a specific niche, and mastodon currently doesnt have the userbase to host an account focused on most niches.

How to we 'get there', to a point where the userbase is to a volume/ size that it fulfills this requirement? I think musc is helping our cause enormously by being a fascistic a-hole. But hey, we can't rely on him for everything.

I don’t know.

I use microblogging platforms to connect with people who have my disability, which includes lots of cognitive problems.

So the current customisation and exploration effort it takes to set up a working mastodon account is too much for most people with my illness.

An optional algorithm would help.

I totally get you on that, friend.
