Cara is just another fucking centralized social media that’s gonna get run to the ground the moment they can monetize their user base.
Artists are mostly not going to figure out the fediverse. There really needs to be some kind of way of accessing it that is more layman friendly if we ever want it to be adopted by non-nerds
Artists are perfectly able to use the fediverse, that is not what is stopping them.
They don't come because they need to be where their fans are. That is why Cara will only be a splash: their niche is artists who place more value on the anti-AI slant than on meeting their audience where it lives. By definition that is not conducive to a lot of organic growth.
...and for that reason, I'm out
I wonder if any of the other sharks will make an offer
Gonna be a no from me dawg
