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.

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.

I get it, but I’ve not really managed to get into Mastodon myself. I’m really liking Lemmy so far and have found a lot of great content, but even though I signed up for a mastodon account a loooong time ago I can’t seem to get into it? Any tips for finding decent content?

Maybe it’s just the type of platform. I’ve never gotten into twitter either.

Indeed, Twitter and Threads are both awful. Just in different ways.

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.

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.

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.
