fediverse (active) user growth is saturating at minuscule numbers https://fedidb.org/ https://fedidb.org/
in the meantime for much of the planet the "internet" means Meta properties.
if you don't ask tough questions you will "keep doing fine" and nothing will change
- izacus 2y ago1 million MAU is nowhere near "miniscule".
- Klonoar 2y agoNo, it is - when you compare it to the incumbent properties it’s trying to replace.
- krapp 2y agoMastodon isn't trying to replace any incumbent properties. The concept doesn't even make sense for a federated network. Not everything is a zero sum game of capitalist growth and competition, and there are valid definitions of success which do not require Mastodon completely subsume Twitter. I think it's OK to simply be an alternative.

- openrisk 2y agoYou seem to have missed the point that the OP is about a newly launched fediverse TikTok competitor [1], not Mastodon. I am not sure the people building Loops want it to be "small and unpopular". You are also confusing server size with the overall adoption of these platforms. I am trying to tell you that the broader movement for (re)decentralization is stalling and that is (in part) because it too closely emulates the successes of centralized adtech media.
