People who are like "The migration to Mastodon has failed!"

No it hasn't. I literally migrated to Mastodon from Twitter, and I don't use Twitter anymore, but I do use Mastodon every day.

I call that a successful migration.

@rasterweb Absolutely agree! The fediverse is thriving, led by Mastodon. We're also witnessing an explosion with platforms like Kbin and Lemmy. It's about putting power back into users' hands instead of big tech.

This isn't just about successful migration. It's about evolution. Decentralization is this evolution's core. The internet was meant to be decentralized, a network for everyone. Let's reclaim that vision.

Down with media monopoly, return the fifth estate to the people!

@finn @rasterweb It's about getting back on the track we were on with usenet all those years ago, when we allowed ourselves to be distracted by shiny objects and migrated over time to centrally controlled sites.

There has always been a part of the population who doesn't *want* to be creative, and wants their experiences handed to them, and who values conformity over all. They are going to struggle with the Fediverse, but it's a healthy struggle.

@finn @rasterweb The ones who seem to proclaim the loudest that the Mastodon migration has failed are those who check in every three to four weeks with a “Mastodon, huh?” post, but nothing beyond that. Baffling.
