The article has a factual mistake. Mastodon isn't trying to pick up the people leaving Twitter, it's just here and they show up. We don't advertise, we aren't in the trades talking up decentralized networks, we just exist and they find us.

@GrayGooGirl @arstechnica Heh, kind of like NATO like that: they haven't been "expanding", they just are the kind of organization countries of a democratic-bent flock to when threatened by mindless hostility and ineptitude that flirts with dangerousness. (To point out a parallel parallel.)
