imagine if mainchan became like the next mini reddit, do you think we would have famous people using the app? or will it probably just remain a tighter knit community with potentially its own micro celebritys on mainchan - like the original people of it, or people who have an actual online following. also do you think mainchan will ever be one of those apps where people have heard of it and never used it?

Mainchan is a free speech platform which is great but there's a hard truth that comes with that. We can filter out racists and gore but the fact that racism isn't banned or the hide-NSFL option isn't on by default even for guests means anyone with a public image to protect is likely to stay far away from here (unless they're a right winger or racist themselves, so maybe a Fox News or alt-right type celebrity). I couldn't budge Cicero's thinking on hiding NSFL by default a year ago when I asked about it so I can't imagine Mainchan's growth shaking out any other way despite most of the user base so far seemingly being center, center-left, and left (and not bigots).
Any celebrity who isn't a racist or righty that sets up shop here would have to be a free speech absolutist I think, otherwise they'd stick with the heavily censored platforms like Reddit. That or someone who's already a member here needs to become a celebrity. How about it Shorty, any plans to become like a movie star anytime soon?
Do you know any famous redditors? I think not.
dawg, look it up, theres tons
If mainchan ever became popular it would be because of /u/gaystation. Gaystation will say something weird, it will be screenshoted and become viral. That's my guess on how mainchan will become popular.
>>probably tight knit community
because most of the new users don't stay long
