   Mastodon went from 1.2M active users last week to 1.8M active users this week. That's not 70M users overnight, but it's something! 🙂

     @Gargron I feel like Threads and Mastodon have two different targets in a way. Remember that their goal is to integrate with everyone through ActivityPub, so we all win in the end.

     And be proud of the work y'all are doing, too!

     @Gargron one step at a time.. also eventually people will realize proprietary social media is about vacuuming up as much data as possible. so algorithmically generated ads can be algorithmically suggested, after the “deep state” or whatever people call it. algorithmically determines weather or not said user is to be deemed a nonperson or not, will then hopefully click on said ad.
