I agree with you there; it hasn't made social media great but lots of people make a living off it and shouldn't lose out due to places like America banning an app they make money off.

It wouldn't be the same sort of thing, obviously. @loops is trying to be a 30 second video platform closer to what Vine was more than TikTok with their 3 minute videos.
That might take a while with all 2 million of them lol
Yeah, well, at least it's said to have that many active users but logging in once in a month to check 1 post. So less than 10 seconds on the website / app counts as active.
I'm sure it's slightly inflated. Hopefully indie developers and other smaller public figures come across.
As of last November 2 Million users. What compared to the rest of the Fediverse that's very few.

There's plenty of Celebs & public figures using Bluesky, as that's how they started growing their platform originally.
There's also Threads that have more Celebs & public figures including Bill Gates. So I guess Threads might be the way they will publicly get in on the Fediverse. That's when they actually fully flesh their ActivityPub stuff and publicly release it.
Yes, ActivityPub 2.0 is working on that from what I can see. It would be really cool to see how that turns out. Bluesky's not using the same protocols though, so unsure how they are going to fix with all of that.
Would it be best for Bluesky to then take all the celebs & public figures and work out a bridge between protocols, making it hopefully possible to see their stuff on Mastodon and other places?
As users can then choose if they want to use Mastodon or another alternative like Bluesky.
Yeah people like that would help greatly even if it’s just for the Reddit like experience they used to get where users can just post to you as a creator
Yeah it would just be nice to have some more niche communities being run. Maybe I should help start those niche communities or something but I’m not really using Lemmy anymore but still love browsing the content
Yes I’ll stay active in as many places as I can on here especially when I know a topic. Even better now I’ve worked out a way to interact with people on Lemmy through Mastodon
That's fair enough, Yeah love Ko-Fi as I run one for an Org that I helped create.
I guess Ko-Fi and other alternatives could be a good way for people to earn money without all the other crap that normal social media has.
