Because let’s say you’re Tom Hanks. And you get TomHanks@Lemmy.World
Well, what’s stopping someone else from adopting TomHanks@Lemm.ee?
And some platforms minimize the text size of platform, or hide it entirely. So you just might see TomHanks, and think it’s him. But it’s actually a 7 year old Chinese boy with a broken leg in Arizona.
Because anyone can grab the same name, on a different platform.
Because with celebrities come fanbases.
Imagine if whoever the new hot artist is put out their next music video exclusively on Peer-Tube.
Suddenly millions of people would be using peer-tube. Then they’d ask “what is the fediverse?”
If you want to keep the fediverse small and isolated, go stay on hexbear, or whatever that one isolated instance is.
I would rather every single human be using the fediverse.
Yeah I don’t want those type of people here.
You don’t want the fediverse to grow?
Not like that. I’d rather the FV just slowly accumulate internet weirdos, OSS nerds, etc., than triple in size overnight because some pop singer told their fans to join
It is, it is natural organic growth.
Organic growth is much more manageable and predictable than explosive cancerous growth.
Not a la Eternal September
