> But so is Facebook. This is false. Facebook user base is increasing: https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/2023/Meta-Reports-First-Quarter-2023-Results/default.aspx https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/... > Fediverse is slowly sloping up. Slowly being the key word. In 7 years, Mastodon has got fewer than 2 million users. In 6 days, Threads got more 100 million users, without Fediverse support. Now that's a slope! There's something to be said for absolute numbers. > That's a threat because it'll pull people away from FB, Instagram, etc. Mastodon users are coming largely from Twitter. There's no evidence they're coming from Facebook and Instagram. And again, Mastodon's entire 7 year user base was surpassed in a day or two by Threads.
