People need to consider this from an Asian perspective.

Traditionally, one of the most popular countries in terms of Mastodon usage has been Japan. But this is changing fast.

Between January to now, Misskey alone jumped from 75,000 to 325,000 accounts.

In terms of accounts, misskey.io has now overtaken mastodon.online, one of Mastodon's flagship servers run by Mastodon gGmbh itself.

In terms of posts sent per month, not only has misskey.io overtaken mastodon.social, it's got double the volume. Which means that despite mastodon.social having 6x more accounts, misskey.io sends 2x more posts that mastodon.social.

We can clearly see that much of #ActivityPub has moved to *key apps.

  @atomicpoet@calckey.social Personally, I don't think the growth of ActivityPub has moved towards the *key apps. While there is definitely, definitely huge growth in this "segment" of Fediverse software, Mastodon is still the "big show in town" and probably isn't really losing any noticeable portion of its user-base over to alternatives like Misskey, Calckey, Akkoma, etc.. BlueSky is kinda "in fad" right now, but I feel that a lot of that is waning. It's similar to how Nostr arrived on the scene, had a lot of interest and momentum, and even vocal support from people like Jack Dorsey...only to sort of slow to a halt after a few weeks. Nobody is really talking about Nostr anymore (at least, not like they had been). It was a fad and the fad hyped out. I don't mean to say that BlueSky won't *become* popular once its polished and matured and not half-backed and widely accessible to the public...but, it's not there, yet. And, I suspect a very similar phenomena with whatever Meta decides to offer, whenever it's offered. All that being said, BlueSky or "Barcelona", let's not forget that this will primarily, if not exclusively, affect Mastodon (not the wider Fediverse). The average Mastodon user is not an enthusiastic Mastodon user. The average Mastodon user doesn't love the Fediverse nor evangelize decentralized, FLOSS, community networking. ---The average Mastodon user feels "forced out", or that they're living in temporary exile from the the centralized, corporate, petty, ideologically-liberal, pseudo-academic, smarmy, Western establishment curated garden they and their cliques once ruled over. As soon as some alternative comes 'round offering them a sense of that again, there they will flock. The rest of the Fediverse will remain.
