JMarkDoddsHow new is Mastodon? How many users does it have? How global is it?
Johan Empa@JMarkDodds Mastodon was born 2016 and started growing 2017. It has more than 4 million users on about 3000 servers all over the world.
@JohanEmpa Thanks for saying. I'm learning
@JohanEmpa SO now Musk is blowing his gaskets Mastodon SHOULD be able to pick up a lot of new users - who want to have real impact in changing everything.
I must apologise for not responding in January 2021 -- I don't recall seeing notifications - Well ... worth a go now.
I'll pick up the thread about reviving pubs - short thing to know is people stop going to pubs when the pubs aren't fit for purpose. People still WANT great pubs to go to - the market is broken. It can be corrected
@JMarkDodds Welcome back. That was a while ago.
@JohanEmpa Thanks. Yes sorry it's taken so long to get back to it... 🙏
I know a lot of people interested in alternatives to Twitter... I'll be directing them here ... I'm not clear at all how the wider forum work with Mastodon?
And, do I / we need to set up a subscription €1.50 / month? Seems reasonable to me. I'm sure people are hoping to continue and develop conversations from Twitter on alternative platform so need to tell them up front. It's such a good opportunity to grow community here
