Hubzilla has an interesting opportunity right now.

@𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼 We're not trying to attract everyone. We are trying to attract people who want more features. And judging by the popularity of Facebook compared to Twitter, and the fact that many Mastodon users mention they want more features, I think Hubzilla will be a good fit for many people, especially with some documentation and some polish.

Following the HZ Project since more than 7 years now that is what i observe:

Since HZ has no appropriate marketing concept engaged users constantly try to communicate that HZ is an alternative to FB like networks. Even so the DEBs started coding because they had in mind to developed such alternatives i truly believe that it does not help the project to finde new follower if the Project is compared to FB / X / Insta and their FEDI copies.

HZ is developed now to something different and Fediverse connectivity is one feature under others.

Streams and forte are the result of this awareness. Some how HZ users seam to have problems to follow this conclusion.

I did not say we market ourselves as a Facebook clone. I said that many of our features would be attractive to Facebook users.
