Mike Masnick ✅Anyway, now that a ton of journalists are flocking back to Mastodon... you should read my article about how all your articles about Mastodon "slumping" were bullshit. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/08/lazy-reporters-claiming-fediverse-is-slumping-despite-massive-increase-in-usage/

These journalists don't know how to look at data. Not only are only a small fraction of #Twitter accounts active, a lot of those active accounts are bots and trolls. I still have a #Twitter account, to interact with a group of dedicated pro-EU Britons, but I spend far more time on THIS platform. I find it to be time well spent, as opposed to arguing with faceless fascists who may be just bots. The right metric would be average account ACTIVITY by real users, excluding trolls/bots.
