Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.
information sources:
I'd be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users
We’re on the map!
I wonder how many users Matrix has?
Slowly and steadily. This platform has potential.
Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.
Fuck LinkedIn. It's just gross, my feed is just full of shilling.
I don’t care how big or small it is, as long as it remains real.
I believe I’ve seen more organic conversation in the fediverse than I have on any other platform.
It’s either bots, ads or ad bots everywhere else.
Being tiny makes it less appealing to the megacorp cunts that would want to ruin it.
We can only imagine how the internet was to the natives before the eternal September.
if the fediverse gets to hundreds of millions of users, we'd better hope that we solve for moderation.
Why Facebook sucks. With those numbers you’re bound to have hundreds of millions of trolls and stochastic terrorists.
