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 ๐ช๐บ ๐บ๐ฆ • • •@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.

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.

in reply to Emelia ๐ธ๐ป • • •@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.

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.
