So why not just work on promoting lemmy and mastodon? Given that Truth social is just a bastardized version of mastodon.
Truth Social is growing very fast, driven largely by politics. Mastodon is not growing as fast. I use Mastodon and recommend it to everyone. But I'm also realistic. Most people will not leave Big Tech unless they have a reason. (and people don't care about privacy enough for that to be the reason)
i hate that i am forced to use facebook for a number of reasons. the main reason though, people use facebook because that's where people are. so for people to not use facebook people would need to populate another platform where people are, before people are there. it's a catch-22.
if the fediverse could have a unified interface for all platforms within the fediverse, conveniently interconnected by a single app/interface, so every platform would be populated instantly, and users started contributing content to each of them. the fediverse would stand a much bigger chance to get big. especially if a new type of niche platform could be invented to bring a lot of users over who aren't actually interested in the fediverse for the fediverse sake.
i mean, if you could use mastodon, peertube, goldfish, mobilizon, pixelfed, owncast, writefreely, etc. etc. etc. all under one umberella of access and convenience. without bugs and inconvenience and poor loading time, etc. and figure out an attraction that users want to experience (filling a gap of social media that doesn't already exist). then the momentum for population growth and content creation on all platforms would naturally grow (in the west). facebook etc is impossible to kill because of net neutrality laws in some countries. but citizens of those countries generally don't have access to the internet anyway. and the day they do, they would probably want to explore this unified service. let's call it... a unified fediverse, or universe for short.
