Yes but …. 250 million monthly active users to 2.5 million.

Don’t get me wrong, dislike twitter and all that it’s become but, as with Reddit migration, these aren’t death spirals yet

And I guess it will never have a death spiral

But it's good to see that Mastodon increased from 300k to 1,5M active users

All I need is enough people on these decentralised social media platforms to keep me from feeling like I'm missing out by not being on one of the monoliths, and I've already got that now.

I welcome all the new people, and am happy for them to stay and explore, but if the numbers just stayed around where they are now, well, that would be fine too.

It's not like we've got to worry about pumping the numbers for a venture exit or IPO or anything. We can just chill out and enjoy.

Also we're starting to get a lot of niche relays that let follow popular corporate outlets without giving clicks. All while developing our own feel.

I haven’t seen a social media app have a death spiral in a long time. Facebook is for old people now, I think that’s what happens. The user base ages and/or stops using the platform and more younger people turn to a new platform.

Orkut didn't have a death spiral, it was murdered.

Brazilians are still angry of it's demise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, most people migrated to facebook overtime and when it was shutdown people barely used it anymore

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, it was still heavily used on Brazil and India.

We only migrated because it was shutting down.

Here is a news at that time showing how facebook was smashing orkut way before its shutdown in 2014

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

As a Brazilian, this is not the perception I had. I stayed until it migrated to G+ and then shut and none of my contacts were ever online and barely any community I followed had any kind of movement, I'd say that the great majority of people had already left for Facebook

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This was in great part because we felt there was already an abandonment of the network. No updates and less money, with google already focusing on an alternative. Of course people would use it less.

And the news point to it decreasing but being the third biggest. A little investment would have made it grow. It's like what's happening on reddit with the CEO murdering the site.

You know twitter barely gets on the top 10 today, and even so it's considered very big.

I think the modern social media giants have become so entrenched in other parts of people's lives that it becomes hard to quit fully. Some Facebook groups are the only way to interact with some communities and the same goes with some niche local news on Twitter or certain personalities. Businesses/brands are not keen on potentially losing eyes on them by switching platforms.

Also the integrated login makes it very difficult to just delete those accounts. I use Facebook to log in some sites, so if I want to get rid of it I should transfers those accounts before

Reading this makes me think that social media now is pretty much the yellow pages but they’ve tricked people into thinking constantly looking at businesses even though you don’t need anything is normal.
