I will play devil's advocate, it is not necessarily that people have bad excuses, most of the time it just hard to break from habits. It doesn't help either that in the case of digital privacy, most people don't give a fuck. Tech companies know that people prefer convenience.
The only way I see how people will migrate to more ethical services like Fediverse and Signal is if enough people are convinced to go, that it will start a FOMO sentiment on to each person. That is the real boulder we are rolling up the hill.
Keep posting decent og content in your fediverse comms and signal chats.
90%+ of content on the fediverse is just rehashed reddit/twitter content lol. The remainder is just fediverse specific content like op.
Reddit content itself Comes from news websites
I post on !football@sopuli.xyz , content is either sports websites articles, gifs of goals or stat infographics
On !android@lemdro.id , content comes from GSMArena, Androidheadlines, Androidpolice etc
Let's not pretend that Reddit has a lot of OG content, it's a link aggregator, links are going to be the same here
We need more active users who are artists and writers.
Lemmy and Piefed instances do not have set limits for storage. Someone can upload their digital work in the webp image format to compress their image down to kbs. I don't think any admin is going to be upset towards og artists. Also there could be a cooperative where artists can donate a portion of their income from donations and commissions to help fund their preferred instance's storage costs. This concept already works with Cosocial. it might be necessary for Peertube, Loops and Pixelfed instances to function as cooperatives for creative folks to be viable. The fediverse instances do not have the advantage yet to bulk buy storage space like companies do. The devs are working on embedding third-party services more to work more seamlessly within the frontends and apps. Tesseract automatically compresses images to webp by default.
Videos can be posted from Peertube. The thumbnails can be used creatively there for the image in the lemmy/piefed feeds.
