The Great Fediverse Exodus: What's Really Happening?
Yes, you read that right. While the overall numbers might suggest growth, a deeper look reveals a worrying trend: the monthly active users on the Fediverse have plummeted to half of what they once were. Even the big profiles are feeling the pinch with dwindling interactions. Could it be that the Fediverse honeymoon is over?
Meanwhile, Twitter/X is seeing a resurgence. More and more users are flocking back, reigniting the platform with a surge of interactions. Is this the beginning of the end for the Fediverse, or just a bump in the road?
Let’s hear your thoughts!

FYI #matrix / #synapse already does #selfhosted #federated #e2ee chats. If masto is fake-twatter and pixelfed is fake-insta, matrix is fake discord. (With real security, and no higher barrier to entry - or hosting - than masto.)
That said, I am about to tear my instance down for unrelated reasons (mostly I don't need "fake discord" as much as I need the headroom and disk space back in my cluster)
