I wish more people would choose to switch from Twitter to Mastodon. Instead most of them are signing up for a Facebook owned app. 🤦
I don’t. Most of the people on Mastodon seem pretty cool, and honestly I would rather not see half the people I see on twitter.
Yeah, eternal September can stay on threads
I never used Twitter but after using Lemmy I fell in love with the Fediverse and created a Mastodon account.
I started following accounts that were on my RSS feed and I’m currently using Mastodon as an RSS on steroids. I may use it more in the future but for now it’s a good start.
Lets hope it keeps going up! Long live the fediverse
Indeed, Twitter and Threads are both awful. Just in different ways.
I don’t trust any reported numbers, I wouldn’t trust watching the tick go up automatically, all the Mastodon servers are being flooded by bots all the time now, the admins are doing yeomans work blocking and cleaning, but real user numbers are impossible to come by.
I just know, I’m much happier not supporting Spez, Zuck, or Musk, and leave it at that, anyone else wants to join, they’re welcome. Except Nazis, fuck Nazis.
I would be really curious where this data is coming from. https://mastodon-analytics.com shows a very different userbase, which might be due to different definitions of “active”, but what seems really fishy is the 72% increase. What timespan are we looking at here? 72% since 2021?
I swear it hit 2M last year as well, people just stopped using it.
I was there the first time. It feels different now - people are contributing and having discussions. Certainly a better quality of discourse than any other social media I’ve used.
That’s probably true, it seems to grow and shrink with Twitter controversies.
Elon makes a scene, people switch, find out the celebrities they follow aren’t on Mastodon, stop using it. Repeat.
nice!
