Whether Mastodon has 5K or 5M users doesn’t matter. You only need to follow about 500 of them to get a pretty rich social media experience that doesn’t suck like ad driven social media.
Assuming that the selected 500 post or boost reasonably frequently.
@SpinozasHeresy it isn’t a popularity game. It is all about quality, let’s put it this way, you can go to a concert where 1000 tone deaf, uninterested, untrained musicians play and there’s a fight in the crowd every 5 minutes. Or you can go listen to Mozart, Johnny Cash, and Luciano Pavarotti accompanied by your closest friends. That’s Twitter vs Mastodon.
