@arstechnica Did anyone even proof read this article? It talks about Mastodon instances rather than actual users or posts, and doesn't have any real statistics, just opinions. According to my first Google search, it looks like Mastodon grew 4x in 4 months. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1376022/global-registered-mastodon-users/

If it wasn't at least 2/3 of users wholly quitting Twitter and in favor of fediverse alternatives, then the fediverse is a failure?
