It's sad that TruthSocial and some right wing instances in the past (like Gab once was) was one of the biggest Mastodon instances, this cements the main Mastodon instance as a very niche social network which the mainstream will never use.
I don't think Mastodon can ever recover from this even with the so called 'migration' that happened because of Elon buying Twitter, I don't think that caught on to shift anything, probably only a small fraction of techies use the main Mastodon instance and that is pretty much it.
TruthSocial makes this even worse.
- chaxor 4y agoIt's a bit odd that mastodon is seen as a far right platform when Twitter is such an enormous company with corporate interests which will ultimately continually add features to alienate users, while the free and open source nature of mastodon is based in a much more liberal and progressive type of origin/framework.
- colesantiago 4y agoDoesn't change the fact that TruthSocial the right wing social network is one of the biggest Mastodon instances, federated or not. When I think of Mastodon I think of TruthSocial, the main instances have little to no activity, almost no reason to join any them.
