One thing that gets me is all the folks who say, “We need to spread Mastodon—and then after they join Mastodon, they’ll be sold on the Fediverse.”
Frankly, I’m skeptical about that approach.
I’ve looked through the stats. Few people migrate to other parts of the Fediverse after joining Mastodon.
Mastodon is 80% of the Fediverse.
It’s closest competitor is Misskey—and Misskey is 3% of the Fediverse.
This despite that Misskey is in many ways superior to Mastodon in terms of usability.
