brave is also run by a homopobic alt right ass so…
please note: I do not support coil
You can’t just change a federated domain like you can change from facebook.com to meta.com, it’s nearly impossible
Lemmy used .ml
in it’s infancy, and it’s impossible to switch domain names now.
I can attest to the cons of .ml domains
Yeah this, also consider that gitlab is not federated and people are not likely to make an account on your gitlab instance to contribute.
The same thing goes for discord, more people use it than matrix, and therfore you reach a larger audience by using it
re @Echedenyan@lemmy.ml not sure what part you are talking about, I’m happy to shoot myself in the foot for my projects because I don’t expect much contributors nore feel a drive for a big star count

Than, how can we attract users, specifically from different countries?
The first thing that comes to mind before advertising is attracting other communities from Reddit, but why would they come? Voat attracted members because the alt right was unwelcome on reddit, but most communities dont find a huge need to switch, even if they feel things could be better. The one exception is the privacy/Foss community, but it’s a small one and perhaps not the best Target audience, let alone one of many nationalities.
If the above paragraph was somehow an attraction plan despite no internationality, some more issues would need to be ironed out:
In line with 3, I think at some point some branding consideration is needed, ie
Lemmy: a world for everyone

As an idea.
I am interested in your strategy ideas for growth. While I am rambling, worth noting that a democracy system is my long term dream, although far off in the pipeline
Whenever I hear web3 I want to jump off a cliff. Seriously. I love decentralization, I am currently developing an indie web platform, but crypto makes me irrationally mad. I have never been so fired up at anything. If the web becomes primarily crypto based, I will quit my job and become a ski instructor. Fuck Ethereum, the drug cryptocurrency. Fuck Smart contracts and fuck all the people who manipulate people into NFT scams. Fuck all the people who fell for NFT scams. I just want it to be over. Now back to sdf. org
