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 feelings :_(
Orkut didn't have a death spiral, it was murdered.
Brazilians are still angry of it's demise.
Nah, most people migrated to facebook overtime and when it was shutdown people barely used it anymore
No, it was still heavily used on Brazil and India.
We only migrated because it was shutting down.
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
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.
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.
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
Remember when the mainstream media did all it could to convince us that Mastodon was a passing fad, and that it was already fading away? Yeeeeah.
Por que está todo mundo falando em inglês?
Pq pessoas de outros servidores por um acaso acharam a postagem que fiz, daí estão todos comentando
Pode reparar que tem muita gente do lemmy.world e outros servidores gringos
dá pra seguir comunidades de outros servidores? como faz isso?
Dá sim. Só você entrar na comunidade que você quer seguir e clicar em "Subscrever".
Por exemplo, você pode entrar na [email protected] e se subscrever lá da mesma forma que você faria num servidor no lemmy.eco.br
Edit:
Uma forma de descobrir comunidades em outros servidores é usando a aba "All" (ou "Tudo"). Também pode pesquisar no link de busca
Só verifica, porque você sempre tem que estar no domínio https://lemmy.eco.br/ para se subscrever, então sempre olhe a barra de endereços do seu navegador
obrigado amigo!
Esse é literalmebre o objetivo de do fediverso existir. Acho algo muito louco né kkk revolucionário
Isso significa que com algum esforço talvez consigamos subir um post no /all do povo kkkkk 👹 😈 😈
Elon Musk has faced a hiccup in his drive to rebrand Twitter as X after police stopped work to remove the old name from the sign at the company’s San Francisco headquarters. On Monday, workers were seen removing the first letters of the word Twitter before the local police department stopped them from continuing the “unauthorised work,” according to an alert sent by the department. According to police, the social media firm had failed to communicate with security and the building’s owner its plans to remove the sign at the Market Street headquarters.

Call me crazy, but this shitty article and workers being halted seems to be fabricated just to kickstart this brand name change for Elon Musk
But it's so fucking stupid. No such thing as bad publicity but at this people are just gathering around to see this shit burn to the ground.
Good.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Mastodon app?
I like Tusky
They're all pretty good, but Tusky is easily the most frictionless one.
I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
On iOS I use the Mastodon app. It works pretty good and is stable and displays all the content.
I downloaded the mastodon app (Android) and it seems fine so far, but I'm encountering some weird bugs. Looks like there are bunch of others to try though.
I didn't think the official app was recommended. Although I started out using it too (on Android) and found it fine
Maybe Mastodon can be renamed to Twitter?
Because lets be real, "Mastodon" isn't that much better of a name than "X"
Maybe Mastodon can be renamed to Twitter?
I don't think Mastodon should change its name at this moment. But I can totally see an instance named Twitter. That would be very funny.
Did you think "Twitter" was a good name?
Because it's not.
But it is. It's brief, it is memorable enough and is unique (which also makes it googlable)
I don't know if "Twitter" is better than "Mastadon", but I know that "tweeting" is far better than "tooting".
I just tooted while reading this.
How is Twitter a bad name? I immediately get the imagine of birds tweeting at each other which is exactly how twitter works, only that birds would probably say less stupid shit.
