as ever, bootstrapping is the problem with new social media sites =/

@sonya

thinking of it more as "seeding a new site for backup purposes"

so that IF something happens at twitter, then a bunch of people are already at (e.g.) schelling.pt so it's easy to coordinate (instead of trying to scramble to contact people AFTER getting cut off for some reason)

@sonya all we can do is poast content and tell people about it

@sonya why would anyone give up their birdsite clout to post at a dozen people

@danzaburou @sonya resilience, hopefully! but you don't even gotta due to cross-posting

@sonya I just take the approach of making sure the microblog is useful to me even if I’m the only user.

@sonya have you tried crawling the fedi for interesting accounts to follow first?
