Right now the Fediverse is in Field of Dreams mode: "If we build it, they will come." It’s a lovely sentiment, but we're up against the hard reality of network effects. How to onboard, engage and keep people?
One word: Storytelling.
That's the real secret of Field of Dreams. It's not about a baseball pitch. It's about a story. To reach the full potential of the Fediverse we need storytelling as much as technology.

Welp, it's July 4, and just like in 1776, America will need to declare independence from a corrupt despot who wishes to plunder the commonwealth for his own ill-gotten gains all while ignoring the rule of law and democratic will of the people.
Declare your independence now, and we'll ratify it on November 5!
🇺🇸🎆🥳

A cliche you hear or read about quite often about Hitler's rise and the Holocaust is: "It was all in 'Mein Kampf' but people didn't take it seriously and millions of people died".
Of course it's simplistic but it's also true: When fascists call for the submission/eradication of a group it is NOT rhetorical.
Get that in your head that these people have no issue whatsoever with killing people they don't like.And if you think "Oh, not in America, we're civilized people..." you're delusional and/or ignorant and/or buried in White privilege.

I've seen a lot of people telling me that this story means they think #Biden is weak so they want him in the election. No...you're missing the goal here. What they are doing is declaring how they will conduct a coordinated lawfare campaign to screw the Democratic nominee.

“Independence from the US is difficult, hazardous and uncertain of success. But remaining a loyal servant of the US if Trump becomes commander-in-chief is a certain formula for disaster. There is nothing we can do to stop his election, except to plead with US voters not to let a convicted felon, coup plotter, sex assaulter, liar, fraud and wannabe dictator into the White House. But we can seek to defend ourselves against it.”

“… In short, the UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves against a Trump regime and its allies. We might also need, as the lessons of the past century are unlearnt and the far right rises again, to defend ourselves against each other.”

“If Trump is installed in the White House again, the US government, always a questionable friend, is likely to become a clear threat to our peace, security and wellbeing. It will rip up what remains of global security and detente, environmental and human rights agreements, and international law. The age of multilateralism, flawed as it always was, would be over, and something much worse will take its place.”
