One thing that could combat big tech platforms would be one singular fediverse app with somewhat respective name to it.
The problem for mass adoption is scattered ways to connect. People in general want thingsa simple. Like FB is FB every way you want to use it.
Second thing would be to lure idols in fediverse and their flocs would follow.
I saw the frustration in my wife's face when I tried to get her in. I dropped reddit for Lemmy and therefore I use this app called Voyager and I connected it in sopuli.xyz. She was like excuse me what? Then I explained this is my way, you can have bunch of other apps and connect to other instances and you can read posts from other platforms too. She was like excuse me what? Aaaand then there is this Pixelfed, Mastodon, Friendica and and and.. with apps these and these. Week after that she managed to install Voyager, connected it in some instance and read things. She still uses big tech platforms as "there's no one here".
*eYou could be the one for precisely those masses that need it fucking simple. They have made their head dumber with algorithms.
I tried to use Friendica a couple of times and could not figure it out. When I asked for help on Lemmy I was made fun of. I'm not unintelligent. I have not tried again.
