@chrisaldrich Sure, i reach them over there. Or we have telephones, postboxes (yeah, snail mail) & email. No need to convince them to join my own efforts exploring rare benefits of net-based communication - many aren't like that & need no public (fake) support either.I enjoy Mastodon curiously, since i learned to filter things - even the federated stream now has benefits in worldwide, diverse, multilingual information. Just like direct democracy this requires a LOT of work. Not a convenience.
