Friends, strangers, haters: I have... made hay. Let no one say I haven't committed to the bit.

@inquiline does mastodon have any individual relevance beyond being the largest (and falling) platform on the fediverse? imho, the increasing MAU of misskey and lemmy is what is really relevant. Data from https://fedidb.org/
@mapto I don't know; does Mastodon have any relevance? 🤔 It brought over many tens of thousands of users during the moment/s when people were fleeing Twitter, and was written up in countless news stories then. It is also the subject of a paper I spent many hours experiencing, writing, and editing, to which you're responding, to tell me this topic isn't relevant. Do I have that right?
@inquiline Please accept my apologies. I did not consider that my doubt and opinion would be perceived as questioning your deeds or liberties. I did not think that bringing up another metric to the discussion and trying to contextualise it, would be seen as an act of hostility.
To everyone else that commented and gave labels here, I'm sorry and I withdraw with my own observations about the social dynamics exposed here.
