Mastodon is benefitting from the #X exodus (eXodus?) too: The official app downloads are up 47% on iOS and 17% on Android. Sign-ups are up approx. 27% compared to previous month with about 90K new accounts, while the MAU has jumped to 894K (across all Mastodon servers).

in reply to elCelio 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 • • •@elCelio Without built-in quote-post functionality, it simply can't be used for the kinds of cross-contextual discussions other platforms allow, and which journalists, analysts, and other producers of high-quality posts require. Commonly-seen workarounds demonstrate a clear need for it and simultaneously show precisely how people want to use it on this platform.
Years of talk, a UX problem is now a policy issue, and I don't understand. I just want a basic short-form microblog feature.

in reply to Ryne Hager • • •@ryne
I see in other platforms that the feature is used more for "look at how stupid this post is" rather than "look at this interesting idea, here is my contribution"
In Mastodon you can comment, boost if you like, block if you don't.
This makes easier for agreeable content to spread rather than disagreeable one, creating a different, albeit smaller, environment
I think this makes it a policy issue: people may have different opinions about it, but there is a trade-off to consider

anyway, I read that they will try to implement it in the next 4.4 release.
"we’re turning our focus to 4.4, which will include:
Quote Posts: We are resuming work on this long-awaited feature, and it will be our main focus for the rest of the year."

Some of us came here precisely because the fediverse is different and doesn't have all those features.

in reply to Erik Uden 🍑 • • •@ErikUden Mastodon will always be around if leadership and management exists to ensure it stay around, otherwise it'll fork into Elephant or something.
You need good people skills at the top to keep everyone involved happy, ignoring issues doesn't make them go away.
Emelia 👸🏻
in reply to Emelia 👸🏻 • • •@ErikUden there's plenty of examples of open source projects and platforms that failed because they didn't have the right leadership.
There's also plenty where the original leader didn't grow with the needs of the project or burnt out and a fork happens.

So yeah, thanks for that! 😊

It is said that people always do the right thing… after trying everything else first. I wish everyone well on Bluesky, although to me it feels like they secured their AOL Keyword and not their domain.
I see this ending with Bluesky switching to Mastodon standards and just becoming another federated server.

I’m reminded of that great scene in THE CONTENDER where the President, played by Jeff Bridges, stingingly tells an annoyingly ambitious congressman, “You're the future of the Democratic party. And you always will be.”
I worry Mastodon is the future of social media. And always will be.

This is the perfect prerequisite for something that can sustain itself. Even if by tomorrow you decided to stop working on it (please don't 😃 ) it would still continue to grow, I'm sure. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this.

マストドンも X 流出 の恩恵を受けています。
公式アプリのダウンロード数は iOS で 47%、Android で 17% 増加しています。サインアップは約 2 件あります。
前月比 27% 増加し、新規アカウント数は約 90,000 で、MAU は 894,000 に跳ね上がりました (マストドン サーバー全体)。
数ではまだ最大ではないかもしれませんが、Mastodon (および fediverse) は過去 8 年間にわたって効果的で信頼性の高いコミュニケーション プラットフォームであることを証明しており、存続するためにベンチャー キャピタルに依存していません。fediverse は未来です。
私は人生の25%をMastodonに費やしました。考えてみると、これはすごいことです。私が始めた頃は、Google+ はまだ存在していました。私たちは、世界で最もリソースに富んだ企業の 1 つでもできなかったことをやっています。簡単ではありません。Web サイトを構築して、そこに広告をいくつか貼り付ける方が常に簡単です。しかし、フェディバースは長期戦です。

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •I love Mastodon. Been here since 2018.
The main thing we need today is people who can afford to operate the instances they create. Running an instance with 30,000 active users requires server power that costs real money and takes technical skill to operate. Some server operators get in over their heads.
I participated in the capture of Google+ for posterity for the Internet Archive when it was ending. This was a real education in the enormity of server power and data storage required to run something like Google+, especially after they stopped throttling us. We're downloading how many gigabits per second??? Holy fucking shit. "Yeah, we found more servers in Thailand we can lease...yeah 10 Terabits per second more...okay..."
Running a large instance is not a hobby, it's real work and takes real money.

Measured how? What's included and what isn't?
* Is it just vanilla Mastodon, or does it include variants like Glitch-Soc and Hometown?
* Is it all servers, or just those that opt-in/ don't opt-out?
* Is it all servers found by crawling, or from requests to include instances?
These details matter to how we weight fediverse stats like this.
