How many peer servers is normal for Mastodon? If we have 17,451 peers, is that OK?

I hear you but there is “edit.”

— Data Leak Existed for at Least 3 Months On #Mastodon —

According to the service, they registered that the misconfiguration existed on February 24. Subsequently, it is said to have taken only half an hour to fix the error. However, the question arises as to how long criminals had access to the exposed data. The service itself suspects that it existed since February 2. However, a user of the social network gives a different information. He reported that his data had already been exported on December 5. If this is the case, the leak would have lasted for more than three months. However, Rochko contradicted this information.

The CEO also revealed the exact number of people affected. If you add the users of Mastodon.social with those of Mastodon.online, which was also affected, you get more than 6,000 users. In addition, it was human error that led to the misconfiguration. The wrong setting was also found in other channels of the service. Of course, it was corrected there as well. Rochko told colleagues at Golem.de that no evidence of data access could be found in the archives. Nevertheless, access cannot be ruled out with absolute certainty.

Eugen Rochko, @Gargron, why would you let Yahoo Finance credit Mastodon to Jack Dorsey?!? 😲

“Twitter and Meta’s new text-based platform Threads are at war. Twitter has seen several rivals emerge since Elon Musk bought the social media platform, significantly including Jack Dorsey’s Mastodon, but the biggest threat yet is Mark Zuckerberg’s brain child, to the tune of 30 million sign-ups in one day. Cue the war of words.”

You would let them slight you like that Eugene?!?

Thank you for explaining Professor Kennedy. Is it OK if I send you a tweet about some new info from Russell Pergament that blew my mind? I had no idea that The Boston Globe and Herald conspired together to sabotage the Boston Metro while Russel Pergament was starting it.

Tweet incoming from Newton Graphic Twitter

I need this translated into English please 🙏

Thank you for this!

You can see after running this server for 1 year I’ve reach 592 users who’ve joined, invested $20/month to keep the server going, tooted my heart out, my experience is Mastodon can’t hold a candle to Twitter. You would have to join Theads & hope for the best.

Will you be switching to Threads once it incorporates the ActivityPub protocol to connect with Mastodon, or sticking with Mastodon?

By the way, showing the commitment of running by own Mastodon server for 1 year, reached ~600 members on my server, my conclusion is Mastodon will never be close to Twitter in reach or audience or even being able to connect with people. Mastodon is a fail.

On the other hand, because & only because I follow you Professor Dan, I saw you post the Globe job for Media and Information Reporter & applied for it yesterday.

Your Twitter feed, what you despise, actually helps people in real ways. Your Twitter reach Professor Dan is 30X more than your Mastodon reach will ever be.

If my server has a 10% retention rate, who can I hire to fix this?

What server did you used to be on?

Threads Struggles to Retain App Engagement, New Record Sees Steepest Drop-Off @dankennedy_nu

According to CNN, the latest data released by Sensor Tower and Similarweb suggests that Meta is currently struggling to keep up with X’s pace.

As of July 31, the daily active users in Threads sharply declined by 82%. This means that only eight million people are using the app every day. This is still lower compared to what Meta projected to see, which is nearly 44 million users.

According to Sensor Tower, Threads users are spending less time on the app this time. The average time spent scrolling on Threads accounts to 19 minutes on its launch day, not to mention the average time the user opens an app which is 14 times.

Unfortunately, the experts are seeing a declining pattern in these numbers. Per Sensor Tower’s senior insights analyst Abe Yousef, the daily average time spent on the app reaches an all-time low of 2.9 minutes per day. In-app usage, people are reportedly spending just 2.6 sessions on Threads.

Another company Similarweb revealed that on July 7, roughly 49 million people accessed Threads. Again, this number did not sustain and it continued to fall off to over 11 million in just 22 days.

Threads Struggles to Retain App Engagement, New Record Sees Steepest Drop-Off

Meta’s Threads is created to compete with Twitter amid the online battle between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

Zuck aims to surpass the newly-rebranded X Blue as the app recorded over 30 million sign-ups during its launch. However, its short-lived engagement is showing up as its user count steadily declines each week.

Even only a few days after its successful launch, many people think that Threads will actually make more revenue than Twitter. The hype lasted for a few weeks until Meta noticed that more users are leaving the platform for good.

Steepest Drop-Off on Threads Users Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg is aware that the company needs to improve its app retention to attract more customers in the long run.

According to Quartz, more than half of Threads users have already abandoned the app. Zuckerberg says that in order to improve app engagement, new features are expected to roll out in the next few weeks. At the moment, a steady plunge of roughly 1% per day is observed among the daily active users on the platform. Sensor Tower says that it’s the steepest drop-off since the app’s debut.

Despite this, Zuckerberg is still optimistic that Threads will recover from these low numbers.

“We saw unprecedented growth out of the gate and more importantly we’re seeing more people coming back daily than I’d expected. And now, we’re focused on retention and improving the basics. And then after that, we’ll focus on growing the community to the scale we think is possible,” he said.

Back on July 10, the tech entrepreneur announced that over 100 million sign-ups were recorded on Threads. It even surpassed ChatGPT when it comes to the same benchmark.

Although this was impressive at the very beginning, Zuck acknowledged the fact that not all 100 million users who signed up returned to the platform.

Anyone know how Threads is doing and when they will join the ActivityPub?

I agree with Elon on this one

Your feedback is much appreciated 😊
