@rysiek I love Mastodon, but the term "toot" is still ridiculous and reminds me of farting. I had wished "verse" (as in Metaverse) was the choice for posting something, and if someone reposts it, it would be a re-verse. Which would have been a clever word trick
@dhinojosa you may say post and share and John Mastodon won't kill you.
@rysiek -
@rysiek He was right. It did die
@CoolerPseudonym nope!
you appear to have depression. bye!

@dec23k @rysiek @chrisp
The funny thing about Google+ was that it was shut down in order to cover up a rather nasty security breach.
I only know this because @hipsterelectron mentioned it@moses_izumi I had assumed it was because of difficulty monetizing but data breech makes sense.

https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-surviveWelp, he was wrong about Mastodon fizzling out in two weeks, but the one thing he wasn't wrong about was Mastodon growing stagnant. Mastodon's sat at the same active user counts for a while and it's plateau'd. The platform hasn't seen any significant growth since the 2022 Twitter exodus, and though growth obviously isn't everything, Mastodon remains relatively niche.
Still, funny reading about this dude just having a massive skill-issue with using Mastodon.

Well, the breech probably happened because Google dropped all investment in it. So, it’s all sort of the same thing, I’m sure. -

@bodhipaksa @rysiek John Mastodon sadly had to wait over five more years to get proper credit. A disgrace, truly.

@rysiek it has shrunk a lot which i am sad about, but what people need to remember is that foss shit never goes away, even when you want it to
@quinn I don't think growth for growth's sake is the way to go, and while it does provide *a* signal, it is not *the* signal so to speak.
I fully expect Bluesky to start enshittifying, because of course they will with their cryptocurrency bro overlords looking for payout eventually.
Meanwhile fedi is doing its thing, getting more resilient, easier to join, dealing with some long-term issues around moderation and so on. And will be there, better prepared than ever, for the next wave.

https://mashable.com/article/mastodon-wont-survive@rysiek some of the criticisms seem legit and still pose challenges. And it got a pretty good boost from the birdsite imploding. But I’m glad to see it still going and slowly improving. So nice to have a non commercial social media space!

@dgodon move slow and gradually improve things.

Counterpoint: that article is over three years old and was written not long after the Twitter exodus. That doesn't counter my point that the platform has plateau'd in terms of active users:
https://fedidb.com/software/mastodon
https://joinmastodon.org/servers
https://fediverse.observer/stats&months=96
Estimates range from ~750k - 1m monthly active users, and I know it's been sitting at that for a while because I occasionally check in with FediDB. Monthly active users has been coasting around 1.1m - 1.2m for over a year now. Mastodon Analytics show that the monthly active user count is currently coasting downwards when zoomed all the way out:
https://mastodon-analytics.com/
Server counts have also been decreasing.

@Eeveecraft the point that piece is making is: such numbers do not mean "stagnation".
Mastodon (the project) has overhauled it's management structure at long last and for the better, implemented a lot of functionalities people have been asking for years for (quote-toots, grouped notifications, many others).
Fediverse (the community) understands itself better, has done a lot of work around becoming a more friendly place for newcomers – and that work continues.
Fedi is anything but stagnant.

@RoyHorace @rysiek far better George Takei than William Shatner in this particular case!
@mxchara @RoyHorace @rysiek I for one am not glad to have the abusive Trekkie still on this platform. Shatner is an asshole but at least he's not an accused sex pest.
