Exactly, no one cares until Mr beast or Beyonce moves and they aren't going to mastodon haha

If they do, it will be because we've reached an arbitrary critical mass. Think, mastodon has 2.1M active users now, twitter has 230M active users.

Mastodon will be considered viable at roughly the same number of users that caused the media to think of twitter as "mainstream"

I'm thinking at least 20M users, 10x what mastodon has now.

I would like more of a sports presence here tho and unfortunately sports beat writers I followed on Twitter aren't coming here

No, screw sports! Open your own instance for that. It was so annoying to block sports on reddit every single week.

Why did you have to do it every week?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Because a new sub would pop up every week. Braves, nhl, baseball, redsox, golf, etc.

Yeah I meant more in it's own instance vs here. But what I'm saying is even if I do I won't get the breaking news content I want because the journalists are not switching over

I hear ya. Sorry, I didn't mean to shit on your hobbies and interests. Everyone likes what they like.
