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

Examples:

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.

Mastodon Sites Status. Find a Mastodon server to sign up for, find one close to you!

Think of it like music. Pop music has a huge amount of listeners all the other genre are tiny by comparison. Pop is all about money, the others are all about music. However only exceptional musicians stand the test of time. The pop-junk just fades away.
