I don't like the clickbait title at all -- Mastodon's clearly going to survive, at least for the forseeable future, and it wouldn't surprise me if it outlives Xitter.

Still, Mastodon is struggling; most of the people who checkd it out in the November 2022 surge (or the smaller June 2023 surge) didn't stick around, and numbers have been steadily declining for the last year. The author makes some good points, and some of the comments are excellent.

Mastodon is 10 years younger and has 0.24% of Twitter’s user-base.

They’re doing great!

There's just not many people on there. And I already never used Twitter except to read in-time updates from people and companies, so naturally with many of them being on Threads or Bluesky, that's where I'd go to get that information.

I mean it's just normal to have a "social" part to social media, no?

I never liked the microblog format so while I've had acouple masto accounts since 2016 I never used it. But i also never used twitter.

Bluesky, using ATProto, which as near as I can tell is not used by anyone else, is not part of the fediverse as a result. Since both ActivityPub, and ATProto, and for that matter also Zot, are all open sourced protocols, it is my hope someone will build bridge software that incorporates and provides interoperability between both. Hubzilla would seem an ideal place for that to happen since that is already it's role, to bridge multiple protocols.

Drag simply thinks microblogging is boring. Nobody has anything interesting to say and nobody smelled drag's toots.

Drag the destroyer of social media, please do Facebook next!
