@taylorlorenz It's interesting that they ALL seem to be on a decline (though a much smaller one than X/Twitter) over the last year.
I wonder, Is there a decrease in social media usage in general? A change in how people are using social media (not on their phones), or a migration to other platforms not listed on this graph, like Mastadon, reddit, lemmy, etc?
Definitely not Reddit. Mastodon, yes.
@RodneyPetersonTalent @taylorlorenz While I'd like this to be true, Mastadon's active user count has also seen a slight decline in 2023 similar to those of the Non-X social media platforms.
According to https://mastodon-analytics.com/ we started 2023 with about 1.8million users and started 2024 with about 1.5million
Though I'm not sure how accurate mastadon-analytics is - I'm open to other sources if they show otherwise
>I'm not sure how accurate mastadon-analytics is
the site says they use the official numbers from https://api.joinmastodon.org/statistics
other sources show similar numbers for the complete fediverse, where mastodon is a big part of
