Some thoughts:

If we want to grow the #Fediverse - and as I have stated repeatedly, I believe we do need to grow the Fediverse in order to overcome the hellscape that is late-stage Capitalist corporate social media - then there are two main things we need to do:

1. Make sure that the #Fediverse is a place where people want to stay. I can't really speak for the developers and admins who put in all the hard work to make all this possible, but for us users this means be active here and be excellent to each other. This is the "easy" part.

2. Do #outreach. Here is where things gets tricky - in order to encourage people to migrate to the Fediverse, we need to reach them while they are. Which means "elsewhere" - and in most cases, this includes the very corporate social media we are trying to escape from.

Thus, I think there is a case to be made for some courageous souls to maintain a presence on #TikTok , #Facebook, #YouTube et. al. - if only to encourage people to move here. Yet if all they do there is flog the Fediverse, they will be swiftly ignored and flogged. Nobody likes a spammer, after all.

So the best idea I have come up with was to have a two-tiered approach. For example, someone could produce video content on #Peertube and the like - and then post a portion of that content on YouTube or TikTok (perhaps with a delay of a few weeks) while linking back to their Fediverse account where they can access everything, the same way Patreon allows creators to share some of their material with everyone while keeping some for exclusive subscribers. This way, users might be encouraged to join the Fediverse just so that they can be notified and comment on everything those creators do.
