@davidrevoy But all in all, despite the horrible Meta tracking, in one day Threads got more users signed up than Mastodon has since it's launch, and more than the entire Fediverse in general.

@sammi @davidrevoy Yeah, I understand that, but at the same time, that doesn't really matter to content creators or companies. Even if Threads is artificially inflating it's numbers, it's still more appealing for an entity like a content creator or company to move over to with the 30m+ users than Mastodon only having 13m even after a 7 years of operation. By contrast, Discord already had well over 100m users after 7 years of operation. I don't mean to sound doomer-ish, I'm just wondering how Mastodon is supposed to compete with behemoths?

@sammi @davidrevoy I don't think it's cool, I'm evaluating it from a perspective of which one people are more likely to swap over to, and given Threads model, I think that as of the moment, more people are likely to swap over to it than to Mastodon, even if I'd prefer people swap over to Mastodon myself.
