Mastodawn

Garbage article from MOU (makeuseof.com).

Too many media outlets dogpile on existing narratives, and opt for "think pieces" instead of actual reporting of facts.

Here's the FACTS about Mastodon:

1. In Sept 2022, only ~11,000 accounts were registered on Mastodon
2. In January 2023, ~180,000 accounts were registered
3. This week, ~120,000 accounts were registered

But let's also consider the matter of "active users"...

“One reason is that it seemed tech-savvy users heavily dominated the platform, making it difficult for regular social media users to find their way and feel comfortable on the platform.”
