@amart So these are just unofficial bots syndicating headlines? Disappointing that more of those media outlets haven't made at least some move to establish a foothold on Mastodon. :(

@SDoleMelipone @amart many are on Post...

@mgifford @amart Are there reliable stats on daily active users for Post and Mastodon?
Show threadAlan Martello

@SDoleMelipone @mgifford I don't know how / where this page is getting its stats, but this is one data point for Mastodon monthly active users.

I haven't seen any figures for Post.news.

@amart @mgifford Thanks. Interesting page, and that’s helpful for scale if true. That number of users is very small. Makes the supposed flagging of mastodon links on bird site even more petty.

@amart @SDoleMelipone I suspect that Post will only make that transparent if/when they feel the number is impressive.

After the rate of adoption of ChatGPT, very little rate of adoption looks impressive.

@amart @SDoleMelipone @mgifford I think the following is more correct: https://bitcoinhackers.org/@mastodonusercount - you can follow @mastodonusercount for hourly statistics.
