Counterpoint: For users with a Meta presence still*, what about using their existing centralized platforms to proselytize Fediverse alternatives instead?

We gain those who are interested - we avoid those who would prefer to play in Meta's garden. Seems ok to me. Edit: hell, my recollection is this was how a decent chunk of folks got to Facebook in the first place. I was a kid fucking around on Nexopia before that, then groups starting moving to Facebook.

*I do - I hate Meta, but the one use case I haven't been able to address are event listings on Facebook. All the other event calendars for local shows I've found lacking in one way or another - the really good ones back in the day got killed by Facebook.
