> That’s a 20% decrease in active users in a month. LOL. 80% retention is bad, now. I cannot think of a more comically skewed view. Most tech startups would absolutely cheer at an 80% retention rate. I'm done with this conversation. I don't personally understand your motivations for wanting to undermine Mastodon, but it's obvious you're engaging in (bad) spin to push a preconceived narrative.

I said "Usage has plummeted" you said "no it hasn't" and I proved, using Mastodon's own numbers, that usage has indeed plummeted 20% in one month, so now you move the goalposts to "those are numbers other startups would kill for". Okay, but you realize that's the wrong direction, right? A startup would probably kill for the engagement, but not the directionality. Startups tend to want engagement to go up, not down, as it's doing on Mastodon. But according to you, disliking Mastodon as a Twitter replacement can only be possible if I'm trying to execute some kind of psyops against Hacker News. I can't just dislike the idea of decentralization to enable hate groups or a technology that hasn't risen to the demands of its new users. It has to be some kind of vast conspiracy, some kind of manipulation, for someone to disagree with your point of view... Get a grip. I backed my statement up with facts, and you respond with conspiracy. I think that makes my point all the stronger.
