The sad reality is that people came, people registered, people left. There was no organic growth. People didn't like it. Another sad truth is that there are only 800,000 of us and at best, 50% of us are bots. And our numbers are getting smaller and smaller...

@fisher Fosstodon is so busy that I no longer have any hope of keeping up with the timeline. On all of my Fedi accounts I no longer need to look for people to follow because I have too many as it is. A lot of the creative/arts tags are also so busy one can barely keep up. I see links to the Fedi in the wild frequently, and in some places they outnumber links to abusive media. Mastodon and the Fedi is already a resounding success. Growth is not a success metric.
@proactiveservices for social networks the number of active users is essential.
