You could probably fit all the Turkish people on this platform in one room.
That's true conceptually, but the Fediverse is too sparse and casual to be an actual catalyst. The best you could say is that members might talk about ideas and issues relatively early compared to much of the wider web, but that only makes it a (fickle) weathervane.
I was looking at this thinking the train should probably be smaller.
