I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

public standardized open technology never works and is always replaced by special much more capable technology. When everyone can implement something and it is compatible with other stuff, how can you exploit people. Look what standardizing electricity plugs have led to. Thousands of companies implement devices. How to corner the market with this? *Italian hand gesture*

The financial analysts have figured out that Mastodon instances can't be run on the DotCom model, and that the network effects only tie people to protocol compatible instances.
So to them mastodon will *always* be failing, even once it gets bigger than FB.

I don’t agree with how .art runs their railroad, however the Fediverse was designed with this in mind. Instances can be as open or insular as they want to be, and the rest of the fediverse can decide how to/whether to engage with them. It’s rather like saying “big city living is dead because the Mayor and city council of Hartford, Connecticut are being making what I consider to be bad choices”

Well, remember, Journalists have been able to "just search" an Internet that was slowly being taken over by corporations hell-bent on enshittification for about 20 years now.
So now they are Just Searching (and not using hashtags or following people) in mastodon servers and not getting everyone's inchoate thoughts on migration and assuming they're 'dead'.
I'm an elder millennial so I'm just waiting for the "Millennials are killing lazy journalism by leaving sites that are demanding payment to be treated shittier" articles...

it's almost like there is a compulsive need among a large swath of media to destroy things which are explicitly set up to be egalitarian and social, instead of set up to exploit others for profit. Hence, BlueSky, which I just read sells user generated data to train AIs, is good, while Mastodon is bad and failing.
Anything which shows people that another way not only is possible but within which people can thrive must be terminated as a matter of urgency.

I love the comments, but I'm going for the serious side on this one.
I expect we'll see a lot more of this in the coming weeks and months as the Fediverse ramps gradually to a household name.
It represents a public open platform that has no dependence on the corporate model and I'm sure it scares the shit out of them. So we'll see all the tricks. Quiet digs, rephrasing and some musical chairs with syntax to convey the idea that the Fediverse will never work.

It’s dying so much that my phone hasn’t stopped buzzing in a couple of days from notifications. When I left the other place, I had hundreds more followers but way, way less engagement. I’m having actual, mostly civil back and forths with folks about all sorts of topics.

After seeing the first news articles that the
#Fediverse
/#Mastodon dwindles, shrinks and doesn't catch on, I thought that the journalists didn't do enough research or that they were misinterpreting the data (huge spike in November and then it went down a while). However, now I think that there is some economic interest involved or that they are paid. In fact, within 12 months, the Fediverse number of users almost tripled and the active users almost quadrupled.

My thin foil hat just becomes tighter every time a major company has issues and then a lot of news sites start to crap on its competitors, downplay the issues in oddly non-news and more like apologist way or just directly attack generally expressed opinions about the said company.
I'd love to see some investigative journalism on how PR companies spin certain concepts really fast into every possible social media after some big company needs a PR disaster deflection.

In medicine, this is called a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (

), seen shortly after you hit a spirochete infection with antibiotics -- they generate a lot of toxins while dying, causing an inflammatory reaction (or so goes the theory).

indeed it is. They block many, many sites. I think scholar.social may be the only one that has them beat. But again, they are doing what they believe is right for their users and their users are free to move if they wanted (well, they can’t migrate to an instance that is blocked, so would be starting over)

What is driving me crazy is one of my friends on Twitter dismissed joining Mastodon because of these articles believing it was niche and there was only a few thousand people here. I pointed out 110,000 people alone joined in the 24 hours after chucklehead rate limited everyone.
I think I've talked them into it now they know the actual truth.
I saw Mastodon mentioned in the same sentence today as Reddit and Twitter burning to the ground.
Clearly an agenda going on there.

It's true. They won't say it but it's what's happening, more quitting than you could imagine." ~ President Donald J. Trump on the fall of Mastodon.

I've noticed the mainstream media is very oppositional to Mastodon, generally speaking, and, despite the covfefe, is actually very supportive of Twitter. I think what's actually going on is a microcosm of a known issue with American news media, that, because drama gets them views, they tend to hype drama while quietly supporting the people who make it.
It's really bad for democracy.
It also means that the Fediverse, as a movement, has a bit of an uphill battle against them. We just need to keep chugging along and trying to find ways to get people to make accounts here and start posting, even if it's just copies of their Twitter posts. Having accurate news coverage would be helpful, but we don't necessarily need it to get people doing things. Back in the Occupy movement, we accomplished quite a lot, despite hostile news agencies purposefully misinforming people. I suspect this will be the same.
It can be frustrating, but News isn't reality: keep on posting.

It surprises me how some people still post tweets even if these tweets will not reach outside the platform at the moment. I like mastodon. It is my only social media where I can interact without feeling overwhelmed and even though I get annoyed with posts of American-centric politics it does not worsen my experience. I guess dismissing the ones left behind is easy but I can imagine that it is hard to let go of what you have built or of what is familiar.

it’s because you don’t have rate limiting on the batch RPC requests coming from the front-end, the tertiary inertial manifolds can’t handle the resulting 4° phase shift polarity modulation from the inverted supermatrix caused by rapidly fluctuating quantum magnetic fields.
