It seems like #Twitter pro-democracy users are not just fleeing but being driven away, in order to de-platform and fragment this group. Is there a way #mastodon could ever become the same sort of “central” meeting/finding/discussing place?
On the surface, this seems difficult because of certain Mastodon design/features, most important the lack of algorithmic discovery.
Would it be possible to “train” new users to use hashtags and hashtag-based search until their follow-bases were established?
