Shitty news sites still barfing out these “Mastodon is losing users” crappy articles I see. Now it’s MakeUseOf just parroting The Guardian huh.

Yes the numbers dropped from the Twitter leaver influx, it was always going to happen. However Mastodon retained a massive amount of those users https://fediverse.observer/stats = ~1 million additional active users versus before the Twitter crap happened.
@gamingonlinux I don’t think large numbers of users are necessary for a social network. What is important is the quality of the users.
Reading this:
“One reason is that it seemed tech-savvy users heavily dominated the platform.”
and I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all. Having a social network where almost everyone is tech savvy is very powerful and gives the community a common interest to rally around.
