       @yassie_j i don’t even understand why it matters. who cares as long as the people on masto enjoy it? the needless competition is so annoying. twitter people can stay on twitter they won’t be missed. at least that’s how i see it

       @ghostlyashI wholly agree with you. It is obvious that Thurrott here, despite his deep knowledge of the tech industry, just cannot fathom how to use Mastodon, and indeed, sees it's falling metrics as a "bad sign". It would be a bad sign... If Mastodon was a profit-driven growth-oriented corporation. If anything, it's a *good* sign because it means that the people who stay behind are those who are genuinely engaged with the platform.

       @yassie_j yes exactly!! and even if it did matter from their own mouth masto used to have 380,000 users so either way it’s still seen growth. small brain moment all around

       @yassie_j @ghostlyash I can't speak for anyone else but being stuck with people that don't want to be on fedi sounds unpleasant

       @izaya @ghostlyashTotally. I think @thurrott is full of shit. If he doesn't wanna stay, that's his perogative. But to claim it's a dead platform because it won't go mainstream is total cockamamie. Dwarf Fortress isn't mainstream, but it's certainly popular (and profitable).
