The Fediverse is growing and we have decently successful platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon. What else would you like to see?

Any big tech platform not yet replaced or maybe something new altogether? What are we missing?

    Not so sure I want them to self host, just based on their track record for security, but I would like them to be more visible.

    Also news outlets could benefit from doing this instead of us having to rely on repost automation.

    I would also love to see peertube become more competitive to YouTube. It would probably need some kind of revenue sharing model or donation integration for that though.

      I agree about the self hosted part. That part isn’t important. But an @city.mastodon server is better than an @city on twitter username. The important part is getting them off proprietary platforms.

      Like how they all do email and websites now.

        Probably someone needs to start a service aimed at them, like a mastodon instance called localgov.social or something

        Yep. That’s what I meant. I want them to come to the fediverse but I don’t necessarily want the city’s IT admin to manage it between fighting laser printers.

        Absolutely. The organizations that have the most to gain and the most capability to manage instances are

        • local governments,
        • news publishers/journalists, and
        • Universities

        These are groups that have unique publishing and legal mandates that already have the IT departments and adequate sway to compel users. They already host email and websites, and regularly come into conflict with corporate messaging platforms.
