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.

Fantastic data and good alarm calling thank you!

I find it interesting but not concerning. Things like this are a reality correction over desire and choice. Mastodon just needs to continue to hold the course of improvement, especially in supporting diversity.
