Mastodawn

On all the Mastodon statistics sites, Mastodon is bleeding active users.

Examples:

Picture 2: https://fedidb.org/software/mastodon

I suspect this is due to Mark Zuckerberg embracing the ideas of the Fediverse and giving every Instagram user a Threads account that he controls.

Mastodon performs better, is more open, has better app choice, and will never have ads. Threads has critical mass.

The world will be far better if Mastodon wins, but right now Mastodon is losing.

Fediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.

@randahl tbh, I really like mastodon but it not diverse enough. All posts trending here are far left. Especially political/pro-communism stuff. I consider myself to be on the left side but when I hear that communism is good and capitalism is bad I just want to delete my account and never confess I had an account here…

The lack of diversity of opinion and the fact that no one calls out communist bullshit really pushes people away. It wasn’t like that when I joined 2 years ago.

@anonimowy Your feed is built by you. What you see in your feed is based on who you follow. If you do not want to see pro communism stuff, follow someone else.

You are currently following 77 people. I follow 5000. My feed is much more diverse than you describe, so I believe you just need to follow more people.
