Yes but …. 250 million monthly active users to 2.5 million.
Don’t get me wrong, dislike twitter and all that it’s become but, as with Reddit migration, these aren’t death spirals yet
And I guess it will never have a death spiral
But it's good to see that Mastodon increased from 300k to 1,5M active users
All I need is enough people on these decentralised social media platforms to keep me from feeling like I'm missing out by not being on one of the monoliths, and I've already got that now.
I welcome all the new people, and am happy for them to stay and explore, but if the numbers just stayed around where they are now, well, that would be fine too.
It's not like we've got to worry about pumping the numbers for a venture exit or IPO or anything. We can just chill out and enjoy.
Also we're starting to get a lot of niche relays that let follow popular corporate outlets without giving clicks. All while developing our own feel.
