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/

Nicely said. This part rings truest for me:
"""
The fediverse might not ever get as big as these other sites, and it doesn’t need to. It’s already hit critical mass to be an extremely useful site . . .
"""
I don't know if it's the Silicon Valley mindset or what: that if your tech offering doesn't dominate the world and earn fat returns for investors, that it's somehow a failure.
I know the fedi will continue to evolve, but for me and many others, it's already greatly useful.
