    Whoops. I missed the "trustworthy" part of the parent comment.

    I actually believe this (probably the only thing I believe Elon says). As a user of both Mastodon and Twitter, and a solid Elon-hater, I’ve been wanting to leave Twitter ever since he took over. But it is simply impossible to look away from this garbage fire. Every day I log on to twitter hoping to see the flames go up, and I simply can’t stop it, no matter how hard I try. I believe this to be true for more people. Although, if this is the main driver for the increased numbers, then it is hardly sustainable. There is only so much fuel a garbage fire can consume before it dies out.

  > No idea if similar metrics exist for Mastodon. Monthly Active Users 2.1M+9% Servers Up 8.8K+46% Data collected by crawling all accessible Mastodon servers on Dec 15, 2022. https://joinmastodon.org/about https://joinmastodon.org/about Despite restoring some of the banned Twitter accounts, Twitter is still throwing a "Warning: this link may be unsafe" alert for Mastodon links, which seems to be a sign that they're afraid of people leaving and trying to stop them. Twitter was/is also preventing people from adding their Mastodon handle to their Twitter profile.
